improv group

Spontaneous comedy collective

An improv group is an ensemble of performers who create unscripted comedy or theater, typically taking suggestions from the audience and building scenes spontaneously: The improv group asked for a location and someone shouted "dentist's office".

Most improv groups perform at dedicated comedy theaters or clubs, though some work in corporate training or education.
