    Come Join The Fun

    Our #1 rule is HAVE FUN but never at another’s expense, so our mission is to spread joy and laughter one show, one class at a time. However, simply playing improv comedy games develops creativity, critical thinking, public speaking, self confidence, listening, focus and more. We use these same games to train team building, leadership, sales, customer service and professional development programming for teachers, as well as k12 educational outreach.

    Private Events

    We daily host corporate teams and student groups from around the world for private workshops at our Times Square NYC theater. We also tour schools, offices and venues DC to Boston, Montauk to Pittsburgh and beyond. Contact us today for a free consultation, or go ahead and send us dates and rates requests. NYC DOE VENDORS

    I am very excited for this fall!!! We are finally returning to a normalcy schedule of classes. This session will include NINE class days. I know different folks travel different weeks, Jewish Holidays, Comic Con, etc etc etc so I have built in make up sessions. There will be a showcase on November 1st where this class will take center stage along with other invited teams.

    Every class will include a series of warm up / ice breakers, games we play in every class, rehearsal, warm up to a show and corporate team building workshops. Then we play various performance games, each week highlighting 1 new scene game plus playing a few large team games that get everyone involved.

    WHY IMPROV COMEDY?

    Improv Comedy is a ton of fun and a powerful tool to develop skills for the office, classroom, home and out in the world. A must for any performer, we also daily work with corporate teams and student groups using the same games to teach community, leadership, sales and more. Simply playing these games develops creativity, critical thinking, public speaking, self confidence and more.

    COME JOIN THE COMMUNITY

    We have a growing community of fun folks in Times Square NYC and various hubs DC to Boston. Improv builds life long friendships. Some of our “students” are more like family now. Many of our staff are former students.

    BRING THE FUN TO YOUR COMMUNITY
