One of the main goals of TIM is to increase the number of people who we are sharing the world of improv with. Every time we start a 101 class, it is so exciting to see people start their comedy journey. I am so excited to try out a new initiative this week with the Diversity Jam! Tonight at 8:30 pm we are going to host a jam for people with marginalized identities. Our goal is to create a safe space for people to come and try out improv or get more reps in a new environment. Improv can be intimidating, and even more so if you feel like the only one. We hope the Diversity Jam gives a space for people to feel more included and seen so we can help people get better at the craft. Allies we love you, and you are welcome to come and support the performers who decide to jam!

Laughing Liberally, Tucson's political comedy revue is returning this Saturday at 7:30pm, and we are so excited to host them here at TIM. Veteran local comics Dave Margolis and Phil Gordon will co-host the show which surfaces every four years to lampoon the national, state, and local political scene. The show will feature Dave Fitzsimmons, Mo Urban and Charles Ludwig plus we are going to throw in some political improv. We hope this is your primary entertainment Saturday night!

The 3V3 Improv Tournament continues on Saturday at 9pm! This week Two Faced, Pop Quiz, AKA, and Barbenheimer vie for a spot in the Finale! Your votes will send two of them through, so don't let these hilarious comedians sitting on the sidelines, get them to the Finale!
