Applications are now Open for our 2026 festival!
Applications are now OPEN for the third 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 22 - 25, 2026 at the All Out Comedy Theater in Uptown Oakland!
