The San Francisco Improv Festival (SFIF) is dedicated to celebrating the art of improvisational theater by showcasing performances from local and visiting ensembles, conducting innovative workshops, and educating the community about the nuances of improvised performance. Founded in 2004, the festival has a rich history of engaging with the public through free events and a focus on the application of improvisation in everyday life.

After a pause due to global events, SFIF is set to return in 2024 under new leadership, aiming to reinvigorate the San Francisco entertainment scene and honor the resilience of the global improv community. With a commitment to promoting both the entertainment and educational aspects of improv, the festival looks forward to re-engaging its audience and celebrating the joy of spontaneous creativity.
