Join us for our March improv show!
We are an open workshop where players of all abilities are invited to come and learn short form, comedy improv. We try to provide a fun and welcoming environment for beginners, as well as a place for more experienced players to practice their skills.
From 7:30 until 7:45 we do orientation for new players and then get started with warm-ups for everyone. If you are new to improv or to Santa Barbara Improv, try to show up at 7:30 so I can meet and talk with you about the class and your experience with improv or performing.
From 7:45 until 9:00 or so, we work on short-form improv games and exercises.
And depending on the class, from 9:00 until 10:00 we'll either continue working on short-form improv, or we'll work on long-form skills.
This is our drop-in longform improv workshop. It is intended for those who already have a foundation in longform improv and are looking for an open workshop to continue developing your skills.
If you are interested, contact any of our instructors to apply for admission.

On Saturday, April 11, 2026, Santa Barbara Improv will host "Jam City," a long form improv jam open to everyone regardless of skill level or experience. There will be no established teams. Prospective players will place their names in a hat. Names will then be drawn at random to form teams, with each team having at least one experienced player. The number of people on a team and the length of the set will be determined by the overall number of participants, but it should be around 12-15 minutes per 6 person team. Jam City is an opportunity for people who have little experience in long from to get their feet wet, and it will provide a chance for experienced players to perform with folks from our wider Central Coast improv community.
