About the Idaho Improvathon Festival

The Idaho Improvathon Festival (IIF) is a 24-hour, 4-day comedy celebration! Idaho’s largest improv festival is a mix of workshops and new shows every 20 minutes with it all made up completely on the spot. Join The Comedy Project (TCP) as they raise funds to continue their mission of entertaining and educating the community about improvisation. The Idaho Improvathon festival is a celebration of comedy and an opportunity to get involved, learn about improv, and see unique performers from across the country! A free community workshop provided with general ticket purchases. Other community workshops with talented instructors from across the United States are available for purchase.

The funds raised at the Improvathon continue to support the following goals:

Building a future permanent performance space
Promoting improv comedy locally
Creating free improv workshops for the community
Bringing in outside performers and guest lecturers to the community
