Sarasota Improv Festival

We bring together top improvisers from around the world for one weekend of spontaneous comedy. This is a must-see event for anyone with a funny bone!

FST’s Sarasota Improv Festival brings three nights of comedy to Downtown Sarasota with the hottest groups on the Improv scene nationally and internationally. Acts from all over the country will perform in the festival that Sarasota Magazine called “high-energy” and the Sarasota Herald-Tribune called “hilarious.” The festival will also feature Improv workshops taught by the professional Improvisers attending the festival.

🦢🩵 With only two days until Improv Fest (what?!?), it's time to welcome back Swan City Improv!

Buckle up, buttercup, because Swan City Improv isn't your run-of-the-mill "let's pretend we're squirrels" improv troupe. No, sir! They're the comedic equivalent of a squirrel on espresso, juggling flaming chainsaws while reciting Shakespeare...poorly.

🤣 Join us for a weekend of laughter at our annual SRQ Improv Festival, July 18-19.

⏳💛 Give a warm welcome to Sand!

This Chicago-based improv comedy group has been performing together since 2009. Their unique style of improvisation has led to a devoted following and extensive touring in the US and internationally.

A Sand show is often laugh-out-loud funny and heartfelt in equal measure. "They're able to tap into a darkness that would lead lesser performers to alienate an audience quickly, and yet they pull it off with a strange sense of empathy that allows for full-on laughter at the most unexpected topics," said NewCity Magazine.
