List of improvisational theater festivals
Improvisational-theater festivals, also known as improv-comedy festivals or improv festivals, are venues where multiple improvisational-theater groups perform.
They are usually not limited by improvisational style, though they may limit entrants to professional-only or collegiate-only.
Most improvisational-theater festivals are hosted by a single troupe, but others are hosted by conglomerations of troupes or a company set up solely for that given festival.
