OTRimprov

OTRimprov Cincinnati's place for world-class improv comedy. OTRimprov is your home for the best improv in Cincinnati and the best improv training in the region.

For the curious and the confident alike, we are here for you. Or maybe you want to see your team work together better and find new, creative ways to problem solve. We have the training for you, too! We started at Know Theatre of Cincinnati as part of the Jackson Street Market. Recognizing the distinct lack of regularly scheduled improv performances in Cincinnati, especially Downtown and in Over-

the-Rhine, OTRi looks to provide this particular brand of entertainment in order to further strengthen Cincinnati’s established arts community. Members of the team come from all walks of life and various communities in Greater Cincinnati to bring their own brand of humor to both short-form and long-form improvisation.

The Improv Festival of Cincinnati is BACK!
October 15–17, 2026
Know Theatre of Cincinnati | Cincinnati, Ohio

For the first time since 2019, we’re bringing three days of live comedy, bold performances, and the kind of energy that only happens in a room full of people saying “yes, and!”

Expect a packed lineup of local favorites and visiting performers, late-night hangs, and an atmosphere that brings Cincinnati’s improv community together under one roof. Mark your calendar. Tell your friends.

Applications are now open at www.IFCincy.com

Lineup, tickets, and special events will be announced soon. Check the site for the latest updates.

If you’re excited to see the festival return and want to help make it happen, you can support us through our GoFundMe. Every contribution goes directly toward bringing artists in and keeping the festival accessible. https://gofund.me/c30137cce

We’re back, baby.
