improv club

Unscripted comedy stage

An improv club is a venue where performers do improvisational comedy—unscripted scenes built from audience suggestions.

These clubs typically offer shows and classes, serving as training grounds for comedians: She got her start at an improv club in Chicago.

The term can also mean a school organization dedicated to improv performance.
