WHERE JOY TAKES THE STAGE
St. Pete loves to celebrate the arts! And the St. Pete Improv Festival is a continued celebration of the art of improvisation. Our goal is to highlight and create opportunities for improvisers across the nation to join together in a weekend of incredible shows, deep connections, and unforgettable moments.
Just like a music festival, St. Pete Improv Festival features teams showcasing different styles, expertise, and experience levels — all culminating in an ultimate celebration of the art form we love. And with workshops running all weekend, traveling performers can learn from each other while St. Pete locals try improv for themselves.

We believe in taking action, embracing the unknown, and making bold choices. Performing at a festival is exactly that - and we'll be right there with you.

DIVERSITY & INCLUSIVITY MATTER
We celebrate what makes each of us unique. St. Pete Improv Festival welcomes every style, background, and experience level. The more voices on stage, the richer the art form becomes.
