Montreal Improv has been a cornerstone of the city’s comedy scene since 2008, offering a space where beginners, seasoned performers, and working comedians hone their craft. After a brief hiatus in 2020, the company found new leadership and a new home in Saint-Henri, reviving its commitment to making improv and comedic expression accessible to all.
From English and French classes to high-energy performances, Montreal Improv continues to be a training ground for some of the best comedic talent in the country. The venue has hosted festivals like OFF-JFL, Mprov, and Fringe, and has been a regular favourite in Cult MTL’s reader polls.
Beyond entertainment, the organization prioritizes inclusion with scholarships and bursaries designed to break down financial and systemic barriers. Whether you’re stepping on stage for the first time or looking to sharpen your skills, Montreal Improv remains a hub for creativity, collaboration, and comedy at its most spontaneous.
