Brisbane Improv Festival

Get laughing at the Brisbane Improv Festival!

Over 4 nights the Ron Hurley Theatre and the Seven Hills Hub will be the home of this brand new comedy festival, with live shows and workshops showcasing the best comedic talent from Brisbane and beyond.

Improvised comedy (improv) is a popular artform where everything is made up on the spot - think Whose Line Is It Anyway or Thank God You’re Here. It kickstarted the careers of many famous comedians like Tina Fey, Bill Murray, Will Ferrell, and Amy Poehler. There’s no better way to kick off 2021 than with a festival that celebrates all things improv.

Presented by Brisbane comedy institution Big Fork Theatre, the festival’s program is jam packed with different shows each night. There’s improvised musicals, science fiction, true crime spoofs, and showcases bringing women, queer and multicultural performers to the fore. There’s something for everyone, all made up on the spot and all downright hilarious.

So come try something new, kick back with a show and have a laugh!
