On Friday, July 24, The Loading Dock will welcome the public for a special preview event featuring Gut Instinct Improv, the wildly unpredictable improv comedy troupe known for turning audience suggestions into outrageous, unscripted comedy. The performance serves as the venue's soft opening—giving guests an exclusive first look at the space just one night before The Loading Dock's official Grand Opening celebration.

Gut Instinct Improv has built a loyal following in Southwest Michigan with its blend of improvisational comedy, audience participation and hilarious challenges that ensure no two performances are ever the same. Every show is created in the moment, making each audience part of the experience.

The evening also gives attendees the unique opportunity to see the venue before the crowds of Grand Opening weekend, offering an intimate preview of The Loading Dock's flexible event spaces, bar and dining experience.

Whether guests are longtime fans of Gut Instinct Improv or simply curious about Buchanan's newest gathering place, the event promises an evening filled with laughter, great food and a sneak peek at what's to come.
