Jams come in all forms -- strawberry, traffic, def comedy -- but this Saturday is the First South Florida Improv Jam. Hosted by Just the Funny improv troupe, the Jam was organized to raise money for the Miami Children's Hospital Foundation, and also to get some of South Florida's funniest together on one stage for your laughing-til-you-pee-your-pants pleasure. Joining Just the Funny are Miami-based Impromedy, Broward's Brain Freeze and Separate Checks, and Boca's Name Change Pending. Each company has chosen their four best -- or whoever wasn't doing anything semi-important that night -- to participate in a Whose Line is it Anyway?-type show in which the actors are at the mercy of audience suggestions, meaning the skits may more often than not turn into porn. But it's for a good cause. And who doesn't like porn? Yuk it up at 9 p.m. Saturday at the Dreamers Theatre, 65 Almeria Ave., Coral Gables. Admission is $10, for more info call 305-693-8669 or visit justthefunny.com.

About The South Florida Improv Jam

The South Florida Improv Jam is an annual improv benefit performance that celebrates and promotes improvisation throughout South Florida. The goal of the event is to raise money for charity, and to get local improv groups to get together and work together in an effort to get local audiences to support theatrical improvisation as an art form.

The South Florida Improv Jam is not a competition and is not geared towards the promotion of any one group, but to all of the improv groups that participate, and improv as a whole in South Florida.

The South Florida Improv Jam is used by permission from the Miami based improv group, Just The Funny to local improv groups wishing to host the event. The event is held once a year, with proceeds from the event going to local and national charities, and for the maintenance of improvsouthflorida.com.

Improv South Florida is the official information outlet and resource for The South Florida Improv Jam.
