SPOKANE, WA, UNITED STATES, February 25, 2025 /
EINPresswire.com/ -- The 2025 Northwest Improv Fest (NWIF) is gearing up for a weekend of unscripted comedy, running April 3-5, 2025 in Spokane, WA. With 18 improv troupes from all across the country, this year’s festival brings a dynamic mix of musical improv, nostalgic throwbacks, fast-paced comedy, and diverse perspectives to the stage.
"Improv is all about bringing people together, and this festival showcases the incredible range of talent in the improv world today,” said Jim Mohr, NWIF Organizer. “From the musical stylings of internet-famous Musical Monday to the nostalgic humor of Seattle’s Jet City Improv’s Super Sonic Show, audiences will get a little bit of everything.”
A Lineup of Must-See Performances
This year’s festival features a mix of established favorites and breakout acts from across the U.S. including:
Musical Monday (Provo, UT) – The internet's favorite improv comedy band. They create humorous, fully improvised musicals on the spot. Born from a podcast and now touring nationally, their performances blend quick wit with Broadway-style storytelling.
JetCity Improv’s SuperSonic Show (Seattle, WA) – A nostalgic ride through the golden days of the Emerald City, bringing back T9 texting, burned CDs, and old-school MTV vibes. This high-energy, fast-paced show will take audiences straight back to the ‘90s and early 2000s.
B.A.B.E. Presents "I Love Musicals" (Portland, OR) – Imagine if "I Love Lucy" met a Broadway musical. This 1950s-inspired improvised musical blends classic Americana with the ridiculousness of live improv for a show unlike any other.
Asian Takeout (Chicago, IL) – One of Chicago’s premier all Asian American improv teams, Asian Takeout spotlights diverse comedic voices with an ensemble trained at Second City, iO, UCB, and ComedySportz. Their mission? To amplify and celebrate AANHPI talent while delivering high-energy, thought-provoking comedy.
Local Favorites – Spokane’s Blue Door Theatre and Coeur d’Alene’s Levity Theatre bring their signature improv styles to the festival, alongside the unpredictable duo of Wilma and Matt performing as Wilmattress. Don't miss these hometown favorites in action.
With performers hailing from San Francisco, CA and Bozeman, MT to Chicago, LI, the 2025 NWIF is bringing together some of the best improvisers from across the country for a one-of-a-kind festival experience. Learn more about the 18 groups performing at
