The Asheville Improv Festival is a proud Double Dip Production.

Our yearly festival is produced by local improvisers right here in Appalachia. Our small team wears many hats to make this festival possible for the improv-obsessed around the country.

We feature diverse improv teams and headliners who entertain sold out audiences with a range of improv formats including short-form, longform, narrative/unscripted theater, musical, and more. 

Community is at the heart of everything we do. Between our local sponsors, staff, and improvisers, we love to highlight Asheville’s eclectic energy and talent.
