THE END IS NIGH! (The Semester End, not the actual end).

We’ve had an incredible semester of unscripted chaos, and we are ready to take our final bow. TOMORROW, Wednesday, April 29th, is our absolute FINAL SESSION of the Spring semester! 😱

This is your last chance until Fall to practice "Yes, and..." and swap your dissertation deadlines for delightful stupidity. To make this grand finale extra special, we are celebrating with A LOT OF SNACKS. Come de-stress and load up on endorphins (and carbs) before finals.

📍 Where: Uris Hall 202
⏰ When: TOMORROW @ 5:45 PM – 7:00 PM

Everyone is welcome! Let's make this the best final session yet.

(Tag a friend who has been saying they’d go to improv all semester... it’s now or never! 😉)

We’re back from our brief hiatus, just in time for the grand finale... almost.

Believe it or not, tonight is our PENULTIMATE (second to last) session of the Spring semester! Where did the time go?

If you've been saying "I'll definitely go to improv next week" all semester, you officially only have two weeks left to make it happen. Take a break from writing, grading, or staring blankly at your laptop, and come get weird with us on the floor of Uris Hall.

📍 Where: Uris Hall 202
⏰ When: Tonight @ 5:45 PM – 7:00 PM

Zero experience required. We can't wait to see you!

Are we forming an Avengers-level team, or just trying to stretch after a long day of research? The world may never know. 🦸‍♂️💥

Here’s some photo evidence of the highly intellectual work happening at the Grad Student Improv Club. We're back at it TONIGHT and ready to make up more ridiculous scenes from scratch.

If you are hitting that mid-semester slump and need a guaranteed reason to smile, this is it. Come laugh with us!

📍 Where: Uris Hall 202
⏰ When: Tonight @ 5:45 PM – 7:00 PM

All grad students are welcome, and absolutely zero acting skills are required!

The Grad Student Improv Club presents: The Avengers, if they were incredibly sleep-deprived and running entirely on caffeine and "Yes, and..." energy. 🦸‍♂️🦸‍♀️

If your Wednesday is dragging and you need a reason to smile, this is it. Come join us TONIGHT for an hour of unscripted games, terrible (but hilarious) group poses, and a guaranteed break from your research.

Everyone is welcome, whether you've done improv for years or you just want to sit in the back and laugh at us.

The band is getting back together for one last ride! 🎸 (Metaphorically. We don't have instruments.)

It’s been 3 long weeks without improv, and frankly, we missed the chaos. TONIGHT is our final session of the semester!

Come join us to de-stress, reconnect, and stock up on enough endorphins to get you through the holidays. It’s your last chance to practice "thinking on your feet" before you have to explain your thesis to your relatives over winter break. 😉

When: TONIGHT at 6 PM Where: WSH 411

Let's finish the semester strong!

11/12/2025

We sell mattresses, have deep discussions in cat's bodegas and make statues in planes. This is what "academic rigor" looks like, right?

Come join our very serious, very scholarly club. TONIGHT at 6 PM in WSH 411. No previous experience is ever needed. Everyone is welcome !

We had an absolute blast at our last meeting! We've got the photos to prove it.

From dramatic, unscripted scenes to focused improv games and big group smiles, it was the perfect study break. This club is all about providing a fun, low-pressure space for grad students to de-stress, get creative, and connect with new people.

A huge thanks to everyone who came out to play!

If you're feeling the mid-week slump, come join us! Our next session is TODAY , Wednesday, November 5th, at 6 PM in Willard Straight Hall 411. All are welcome, and no experience is ever required!

10/29/2025

We've got photo-proof that the Grad Student Improv Club is the most fun you can have on campus!

When the scenes get this good, sometimes you just end up on the floor. Whether from laughter or from committing to a scene as a grumpy starfish, we'll never tell! A huge thank you to everyone who came, played, and brought this amazing energy.

If your week could use a serious dose of fun and a great way to de-stress, come join us! We're a friendly, welcoming group, and our only rule is to have a good time.

Our next meeting is TODAY at 6:00 PM in Willard Straight Hall 411. We'd love to see you there!
