Mission IMPROVable
Alumni Campus Center Ballroom
Mission IMPROVable is the nation’s most touring-est improv group ever! Since 1998, this band of improv agents has been traveling the country spreading its unique style of improv comedy to everyone they meet. Their roots began in Massachusetts, in 1996. There, the original six members (Ryan, Jeff, Aaron, Lloyd, Jason and Jason) met and started performing together on the campus of UMass Amherst. After two years of weekly shows in the Campus Center, the six friends decided it was time to pack up and head out to Chicago– the World Capital of Improv Comedy.
