Chuckles for Charity
Off the cuff, for a cause

COURTESY OF JUST THE FUNNY

They will please the court

Now here’s an odd mix: The Miami Museum of Science and Planetarium, the educational host of events such as “Lizard Day”; the Just the Funny Improv Comedy Theatre Company, known for being, well, an improv group; and the Children’s Home Society of South Florida, which provides leadership programming for children. They are joining forces to make you laugh in the name of charity. The fifth annual South Florida Improv Jam will feature a veritable who’s who of local comedy groups that will willingly make stuff up as they go along, all at the risk of being laughed off the stage (good) or stared at in wide-eyed horror (bad). Why is this fun for you? Because it harks back to the olden days of market-square scoundrel beheadings or, come to think of it, the modern spectacle of reality television. Point being, you can chuckle and judge without having to be judged yourself, and besides, the $12 will help the Children’s Home Society, a great organization. Buy your tickets at the museum theater box office (cash, please!) today only. The fun begins at 9:00 p.m. at the Miami Museum of Science and Planetarium, 3280 S. Miami Ave., Miami. Call 305-951-1875, or visit www.improvsouthflorida.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.
