The KC Improv Festival

Now in its 19th year, The KC Improv Festival is proud to be one of the longest running improv festivals in the country. We had the pleasure of hosting one of the very first improv festivalsin 1994, and since then have welcomed Del Close, Mick Napier, and TJ Jagodowski.

More recently we've had Joe Bill, Jill Bernard, Superego featuring Paul F. Tompkins, Susan Messing, and KC native Jason Sudeikis on our stages.

This year we are excited to announce our headliners:

Off Book: The Improvised Musical, and Liss N' Sams
