Welcome back for the second annual Bay Area Musical Improv Festival, bringing together musical improvisers from around the San Francisco Bay Area and across the country for a weekend of musical improv shows, workshops and jams.

Over four days, attendees will be able to watch over a dozen musical improv teams perform, attend workshops taught by visiting teachers, and jump in the fun themselves and jam with us. This is a weekend no musical improviser will want to miss!

It’s all happening October 23 - 26, 2025 at the All Out Comedy Theater in Uptown Oakland!
