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.
