About Umlautilde

Umlautilde's shows range from the absurdly ridiculous to the sublime & grounded. Primarily performing an improvised one-act play (which they sometimes bend, twist, and shatter), they explore characters brought together by fate.



Bob Fisher started improvising nearly 30 years ago in Chicago, performing with Cardiff Giant, Bang Bang, Second City's TourCo, and The Annoyance Theater. Jose Gonzalez started improvising about 13 years ago in Phoenix with Galapagos, Dangerville, and The Torch Theatre. They started improvising as Umlautilde in 2008 and haven't stopped.



Umlautilde has appeared in the Chicago Improv Festival (2013), Austin's Out of Bounds Comedy Festival (2012), UCB-NY's Del Close Marathon (2010-2012), and the Phoenix Improv Festival (2009-2014).
