🤼‍♂️ TONIGHT! Join us at Maestro: The Improv Comedy Battle-Royale! A dozen improvisers compete in a crash-and-burn elimination-style showdown. There can only be one survivor, and the power to crown the Maestro is YOURS.

Each round, two top-tier directors throw challenge after challenge at our performers, and the audience scores each scene. Your score decides who meets their fiery end and who’s spared for one more round!

At the end of the night, the LAST IMPROVISER STANDING is crowned Maestro Champion. Each performance is unscripted and inspired by audience suggestions ensuring no two shows are alike, and the laughs are unstoppable.
