South Florida Improv Jam - 4th AnnualThe 4th Annual South Florida Improv Jam (SFIJ 4), was held on Saturday, August 13, and took place in Palm Beach at The Kravis Center for the Performing Arts - Cohen Pavilion in Persson Hall, and was hosted by Mod 27.

Raising money for charity, proceeds from SFIJ 4 benefited Gilda's Club of South Florida.

Organized by Dave Hyland and Tom O'Donnell, SFIJ 4 continued the tradition of bringing together South Florida's Improv Community through collective performance and workshop instruction.

The 4th South Florida Improv Jam continued to use a pure jam format, in a 2 hour+ show comprised of four 25-minute, mixed-cast "mini-troupes," performing improv and sketch comedy showcases, and directed by one member of each of the troupes involved. 

SFIJ 4 featured cast members and directors from South Florida improv and sketch comedy troupes Impromedy, Just The Funny, Laughing Gas, Mod 27, and They Improv

SFIJ 4 also featured FREE improv and sketch comedy workshops offered to the general public earlier in the day, a first for the South Florida Improv Jam!

SFIJ 4 was a blast, filling up the beautiful Kravis Center for the Performing Arts, while keeping audience members howling with a fantastic blend of short form improv, long form improv, and sketch comedy, with a quick group jam to end the show.

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.
