BIG CITY IMPROV: San Francisco’s premiere short-form group takes a break from their regular shows at the Shelton Theater complex in Union Square to join us for an evening of their signature, fast-paced improv.

CRISIS HOPKINS: Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, we’ve performed at SF Sketchfest, The LA Improv Festival, The Providence Improv Festival, and Laughstock: The Ventura Improv Festival. We currently host improv jams and workshops at the Climate Theater and perform at venues throughout the Bay Area and beyond. Our last big show One Nation Under Crisis ran at Stage Werx in May.

DAN KLEIN of KASPER HAUSER: Also professor of improvisation theater at Stanford University, Dan Klein will be teaching a workshop on “Working Creatively in Groups”, based on his experiences collaborating with fellow castmembers of Kasper Hauser on their acclaimed live shows as well as their three ridiculously funny books, Skymaul, Weddings of the Times, and Obama’s Blackberry.

PIANO FIGHT: SF’s largest sketch group brings their truck-full of talent to the Eureka for TIFSF. PF has a regular performance space at the Off-Market Theater and is now producing more shows by other groups. These performers are the future - treat them well and let them lead the way...

REVOLVING MADNESS: Reuniting after exiting the SF scene last year, Revolving Madness brings back their own unique, kick-ass brand of montage improv to SF audiences once more.

SPF7 UPDATE: Due to unavoidable scheduling issues, SPF7 has had to bow out of their slot in the TIF. However, founding member and badass Sammy Wegent will be emceeing Saturday’s Fest festivities. You can get your fix of the rest of SPF7 here in the meantime...!
