Improv It
Local comedy groups find out who's best, once and for all

New Times - Broward/Palm Beach
August 21, 2003
By: Dan Sweeney

You've seen the names in our comedy listings, some of them for several years. Heck, maybe you've even seen a couple of them at your preferred local comedy club, asking audience members to give them a topic so they can perform a hilarious improvised scene. Well, an improvised scene, certainly. Hilarious may or may not be the right word. It all depends on the troupe. But six local improv acts -- Name Change Pending, Separate Checks, Laughing Gas, IMPROMEDY, Just the Funny, and Mod 27 -- come together at the New York Comedy Club (8221 Glades Rd., Boca Raton) from 7 to 9:30 p.m. to determine which takes the proverbial improv cake. Each group hits the stage for 20 minutes to show off its own style of improvisation. The event benefits Gilda's Club South Florida, a not-for-profit cancer support group. Tickets cost $10. Call 954-763-6776.

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.
