1st South Florida Improv Jam: 9 p.m. Saturday, Dreamers Theatre,
65 Almeria Ave., Coral Gables; $10 donation; http:/www.justthefunny.com/jam.html or 305-693-8669.

Who doesn't love to be put on the spot? Most of us, probably. Most of us truly hate to be put on the spot. That is why most of us are not performers who specialize in improvisation. Now, who doesn't love to watch other people get put on the spot? That's the opportunity we will all have at the 1st South Florida Improv Jam, which features performers from local improv theater companies. Each of the following groups will offer four actors: Impromedy and Just The Funny from Miami; Brain Freeze and Separate Checks from Broward, and Boca Raton-based Name Change Pending. The format is a 90-minute show (or ''jam,'' if you prefer) that is compared to the ABC television show Whose Line Is It Anyway?, except without Drew Carey. Proceeds will be donated to The Miami Children's Hospital Foundation.

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.
