Chicago is known as the improv capital of the world. Most casts of “SNL” have a handful of talented performers who honed their chops at places like Second City, iO, Playground, Chemically Imbalanced and more. The 14th Annul Chicago Improv Festival is your chance to see the best improvisers from around the world come and perform in venues like Second City, iO, Playground, Chemically Imbalanced and more. In only six days more than ten venues will host 95 shows, featuring performers from eight nations and thirty two cities. Think of this as comedy training camp and you get to play the role of scout.

The direction team has been distributing posters and handbills for this annual festival throughout the north side of the city, Oak Park and Evanston.

The Chicago Improv Festival runs April 25 to May 1 at multiple venues throughout Chicago. Please visit chicagoimprovfestival.org for tickets, schedules and more.
