🔥 HEADLINER ANNOUNCEMENT: WIECK & FRIENDS 🔥

After a six-year hiatus, IFCincy is back—and so is Bob Wieck.

Bob first attended IFCincy shortly after its second festival, and over the years, it became one of the most magical and meaningful weekends on his improv calendar. We’re excited to welcome him back for the festival’s return.

This time, he’s teaming up with Cincinnati improvisers Dave Powell, Dylan Shelton, Kelly St Bean, Charley Poe, and Tatiana Godfrey.

Six friends. One stage. No idea what’s going to happen.

Wieck and Friends are coming to IF Cincy 2026 at the Know Theatre of Cincinnati on October 17th at 9pm. We can’t wait to see what they come up with.

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.
