What We Offer
Gotham City Improv is a theater, school, and community of comedic actors in New York City. Gotham City Improv is the sister company of the Los Angeles based improv company, The Groundlings.

Our 60 seat theater is home to some of the funniest performers in the city. And nearly all of our shows come with a ticket price of $10 or less! For more information on our shows, go to SHOWS.

Gotham City Improv offers a full training program, including short form improv, long form improv, sketch comedy writing, and specialty workshops such as Musical Improv, Commercial Voice Overs 101, and more. Graduates of our program perform in our theater. We also have ongoing shows in which our students get to perform, gaining valuable stage experience. For more information on our classes, go to CLASSES.

Can't get here? That's okay, we'll bring the comedy to you! We are mobile entertainers who will customize a performance just for you and bring it to your party, school, or corporate event. We'll even come teach a workshop. Improv techniques are proven team-builders … and they're fun! For more information on our customized entertainment and workshops, go to HIRE US and POWER PLAY.
