About the Improvathon
The Improvathon is a 20-hour 3-day comedy festival! A mix of in-depth workshops and shows (a new show every 20 minutes) with all of it made up on the spot. Join The Comedy Project (TCP) as they raise funds for their organization. The Improvathon is a celebration of comedy and an opportunity to get involved, learn about improv, and more! Free workshop provided with ticket 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
All the fun at the Improvathon!

For $10 you can get in our split the pot raffle. The winner walks away with half of the money sold in tickets each night (max $500 prize)
Food & Drinks
20 hours of performances is a lot of improv with no food! No worries, we have local food trucks rotating throughout the event and the staff at Westside Players will be providing concessions, beer, wine, and more. Outside food is also welcome!
*No Outside Alcohol is Permitted*
The Comedy Project
Of course, the Improvathon wouldn't be what it is without the performers from The Comedy Project! They will be bringing out all of your favorites so be ready!
