Vintage Improv Festival

VIF is raising funds in support of an educational improv scholarship fundraising drive. We hope to support brave improv students channeling art through comedy in the midst of the war in Ukraine and to remove barriers to participation for people from the African continent so they can acquire skills to spread improv in their communities after attending Africa’s first improv festival in Nigeria this June.
