Washington Improv Theater is the District's premier destination for hilarious improv comedy, as well as classes, workshops, and professional training for individuals, businesses, and organizations. We've been making Washingtonians — and visitors to the nation's capital — laugh and learn for more than 25 years as part of our mission to spread joy and facilitate creative self-discovery. As a nonprofit, it's also vital that we give back to the community. Using improv to do good is just part of who we are! You might not believe it, but our performances are completely made up on-the-spot. (There's no script or safety net when our improvisers go out on stage!) That's because, at its core, improv is about connecting and communicating. So, whether you're looking to treat yourself to a fun night out with friends or meet awesome new people in one of our eight-week classes, we think you're going to like it here. Trust us when we say, "Improv is for everyone!" Read our FY25 Annual Report to learn more about our impact. Read More
