This Saturday you can experience our entire Improv 101 course, in just one day! There are literally only two spots left! Sign up immediately to be apart of our One Day Improv 101 Intensive!

We are so close to the Improvathon, I am on the edge of my seat with anticipation! On June 2nd-3rd we are going to attempt to do 28 nonstop hours of comedy shows! You can start grabbing tickets here, including the all access pass for just $20. A few highlights from the event, the 400th Soapbox show, overnight improv, an afternoon of family-friendly shows, and A Big Wet Throbbing Queer Comedy Show🏳‍🌈🍑🍆💧🐥 closes it out. All of the profits from the event will go towards paying off our EDIL COVID Loan!

We have an amazing stand up headliner for you on Friday! Known for his singing voice and impressions, Joey Gaynor is an actor, comedian and writer living in Los Angeles via Newark, New Jersey. After eight years on the road, Joey's break through came in the concert movie, "Comedy's Dirtiest Dozen" with Bill Hicks, Chris Rock and Tim Allen.
