RISE Comedy’s Community Improv Jam is an open invitation for you (yes, you!) to COME PLAY on the RISE Comedy stage with some of Denver’s most supportive improvisers.  Put your name in the hat by 7:50, and you’ll be cast on a one-time team for the 8:00 show that same night!  It’s FREE to watch, FREE to play, and ALL LEVELS ARE WELCOME, so come on and jam!

Individual Jam – If you’ve been there all three weeks you are eligible to play longer sets with the host teams. This is a great way to be supported by more seasoned performers and in turn you get to learn onstage training basically.
