Green Bay Improv Festival Line-Up

Two Busses (Omaha,NE & De Moines, IA) - A completely improvised two bus show featuring Rachel Ware and Tim Overton. Never the same format and always fun (Friday 7:30).

Ross Childs (Chicago, IL) - Ross Childs plays songs to entertain and soothe the procrastinator’s soul. (Friday 7:30).

ComedyCity De Pere (DePere, WI) - This hometown favorite is the longest running comedy show in Northeast Wisconsin with shows every weekend. We’ve been performing improv in and around the area for over 30 years (Friday and Saturday 7:30).

Community Ed (Minneapolis, MN) - An improv duo you wish you were hanging with. They improvise through a mono-scene that will make you laugh, and, at times, feel the angst of the characters’ dysfunctional relationship (Friday 9:45).

Monkey Business Institute (Madison, WI) - This group is made up of over 35 uniquely talented people who have spent years, if not decades, growing intimately aware of what makes great improv tick and what makes one laugh (Friday 9:45)!

Liquor and Sweatpants (De Pere, WI) - After the challenging year where COVID-19 canceled their 2020 World Tour, Liquor and Sweatpants makes their triumphant return to live performance in 2021.
