Baltimore Improv Group (BIG) — Attraction in Baltimore

I am a huge fan of Baltimore Improv Group! Based on my personal experience, I highly recommend the adult improv classes, the kids improv classes, and THE SHOWS! I recently started taking improv 101, and can't recommend it highly enough. It's not my first improv class, but it has all the magic of a first encounter. The pacing is perfect. I also took my daughter to a one-off Saturday kids improv class with one of her friends and they both loved it! There aren't a ton of other places that offer kids improv, and it's awesome to get to really share the experience with her, so I was very appreciative that BIG offered kids classes. Lastly, I've been to a bunch of shows so far, and they are all so real, and so good. If you're new to Baltimore or new to improv, you can catch a show at the BIG theater almost any night of the week, and for free (for now). Not only that, but they give you free water when you're there....

BIG is an amazing community art space. The shows are hilarious and very affordable. House team nights on Fridays are so funny, its amazing just how funny unscripted comedy can be.

Conservatory nights on Thursdays are also such a dope opportunity to see up and coming really creative and talented performers, and there some really funny scenes.

The theater seems to be really thriving, there's been a lot of growth in 2023 and should continue onwards.

The classes are also so fun, and taught by a lot of very talented and dedicated teachers (who also often put on hilarious shows at the theater). They have classes for all skill levels.

I'd suggest everyone try at least one improv class, and come...

Did the workshop last night and the instructor, Ti, was magnificent. She did a great job explaining the precepts of improv in a digestible and fun way. I really learned a lot. After the workshop we got a free invite to the weekly Sunday show--holy moly--these guys are talented! The whole crowd was in stitches. The crew came up with the set and setting for a show and straight up improvised a 30 minute scene. The whole crew was laughing and enjoyed the entire show. I'm definitely considering doing more and can see how improv and boost confidence, one's ability to play, and think on their feet....
