The Brisbane Improv Festival is a celebration of Brisbane's diverse and talented community.

From the 22nd - 29th July 2023 Big Fork Theatre will host the return of the Brisbane Improv Festival after a successful 2022 Festival. Celebrating all things improvised comedy, the Brisbane Improv Festival will showcase some of this city’s best and most innovative comedians and performers as well as visiting guests across eight nights of live shows and workshops, handpicked to deliver you the funniest week of improv this side of the river!

Opening the 2023 Brisbane Improv Festival:

Poop Joggers
Brisbane, Qld

In 2018 the reign of the notorious Greenslopes Poop Jogger was brought down by an elaborate neighbourhood sting operation, who banded together in the darkness to keep their suburb clean. Now, Chris, Taylor, Coen and Chris live there. Join the Poop Joggers for an improvised fairytale more chaotic than their namesake, but just as gritty.

The Family
Brisbane, Qld

The Family is an improvised dramatic comedy where the audience will decide who the rat in the family is, as they try to bring down their long-standing business. It's got all the same hallmarks of The Godfather - the drama, the twists, and the intrigue of a mystery – based on your suggestions. Will the rat succeed, or will the family stand strong and protect their name?

The Brisbane Improv Festival will adhere to all current COVID restrictions and requirements. More info
