Jet City Improv is Seattle's premiere improvisational theater, comedy and training organization. Our mission is to educate, enlighten, and entertain audiences through the art of improvisation. Since ​1992, we've offered live audience-interactive shows every weekend, improv classes for professionals and novices alike, and provided outreach programs to those that need laughter the most all across Western Washington.

First things first: 

We have all been vaccinated for your protection. Jet City Improv is now ready to begin slowly returning to in-person classes and shows. Our classes moving forward will be in-person, while others will continue to offer online.

covid safety measures

Jet City Improv is gearing up to do live, in-person shows beginning in September 2021! Most of our shows will be at the University Heights Auditorium (5031 University Way NE, Seattle).

In order to maintain the safety of all or our guests, performers and staff, these safety measures have been put in place:
  •  Proof of Vaccination will be required for all patrons (12y/o+) or negative COVID test no more than 48 hours old.
  • All performers and staff are vaccinated
  • Masks must be worn at all times, except when eating or drinking
  • Concessions will only be sold pre-show and at intermission, in the lobby. No eating or drinking in the auditorium.
  • Patrons/groups will be seated apart from other patrons/groups​

are we open?

At the moment (September 2021), we are beginning to do indoor, in-person shows (while occasionally continuing to do some virtual performances). Likewise, many of our classes are happening in-person, while others are happening virtually.

In 2020, Jet City Improv closed its University District theater of the past 17 years due to COVID. While we are currently seeking out a permanent performance space for future programming, we will be producing shows at a variety of spaces throughout Seattle during our "nomadic phase."

As of August 2021, due to the pandemic, we have lost over $460,000 in revenue. Please consider donating to us to help keep us running while we are eagerly awaiting the end of this pandemic.

Let the comedy begin! Jet City Improv is an award-winning group of improvisational actors that perform interactive, high-energy comedy shows based on audience suggestions. We have years of experience performing for summer camps, schools & community events.
In Summer 2021, Jet City Improv continues to offer a mix of live streamed improv shows AND we will begin to do in-person, outdoor performances!
Our improv classes offer you the chance to meet new friends, get comfortable talking in front of groups, and quite possibly have the time of your life. Some classes continue to be offered online, while many others are now in-person classes!
We offer team building and on-your-feet training in communication and teamwork. Get your team or employees out of their chairs to interact better, or have us make them laugh at any meeting, party or convention.
