PREVIEW: The First University of Michigan Improv Festival

Saturday, March 26th is the first ever University of Michigan Improv Festival! Organized by UofM’s very own groups of hilarity: Funny or Die, ComCo, and Midnight Book Club. In addition to performing themselves, these comedians have brought in other outside artists. Check out the full line-up in this video posted on the Festival’s Facebook Event page: 

There is a show at 6 pm and 9 pm; yes, there are TWO shows! Really want to avoid your homework? See both and get twice the laughs, plus each performance features different groups. But, RSVP to reserve your seat. Visit their Facebook Page to RSVP by noon on Saturday. Not a planner? No problem! Doors open to the public, those who did not reserve seats, at 5:45 pm for the first show and 8:45 for the second show. Reserved seat or not this event is totally FREE!

I’m so excited for this festival and can’t believe UofM hasn’t had one before now! It’s a chance to see our local on-campus talent and that of other universities all in one place. Without ever having to actually leave campus! It should be a great show and the first of many improv festivals!

Both performances are in Rackham Auditorium
