The international festival IMPRO Amsterdam is ready to make you laugh! IMPRO Amsterdam brings the best of the improv world together in one lively festival in Amsterdam, with 30 shows and more than 60 workshops!

IMPRO Amsterdam celebrates 30 years

IMPRO Amsterdam, Europe’s largest English-language improvised theatre festival, returns to the Zonnehuis in February 2025 with its most diverse programme yet, proving that improv can be funny, smart, sexy, emotional and universal. 

Get immersed in unscripted theatre ranging from tear-jerking drama to hilarious comedy. Besides the main performances, there is much more to experience, such as daily late-night shows, workshops, an open stage and talks.

Hundreds of improvisational comics, actors, teachers and fans will descend on Tuindorp in Amsterdam Noord to enjoy the festival’s 30th anniversary programme, packed full of shows, workshops and surprise pop-up events.

Improv, an expansive art form

Believe it or not, everything is improvised at IMPRO Amsterdam, providing surprises night after night! What happens on stage also depends on the audience. Audience members are often called on to provide exciting, impossible, or challenging suggestions for the improvisers to act out!

Improv, also known as impro or improvised theatre, is a style of performance where players, or improvisers, create entire shows on the spot. They do not know who they’ll be playing, what they’ll say, or what will happen until they step on stage. While improv is often linked to comedy, it has grown into an expansive art form that draws from many theatrical, literary, and other artistic traditions. 

IMPRO Amsterdam 2025’s show schedule offers something for everyone, such as improvised Jane Austin, science fiction, explorations of intimacy, and a completely made-up Star Trek-inspired musical.

Have a go at one of the IMPRO workshops

Improvisational theatre is a lot of fun to watch, but it’s even more fun to have a go yourself, though experience may be required for some of the courses. A great variety of workshops are on offer during the festival, all taught by international actors. 

There will also be open jams to kickstart several of the evenings, giving players and fans a chance to get onstage, perhaps for the first time, on subjects such as duo improv, physical comedy or simply being a daredevil on stage.
