Improv Cincinnati Competitors

We are more than an unforgettable night out, we also help organizations inspire better performance. We use the methods pioneered on our world-renowned stages to create meetings + events people don’t want to miss (or leave), content that connects because it’s funny and honest, and professional development programs that get people to change—because they get people. Through hundreds of engagements a year, we drive personal growth and organizational improvement. Interaction by interaction, we help people and companies get better at the things they do every day.

The Upright Citizens Brigade (UCB) is the comedy powerhouse founded by Amy Poehler, Matt Besser, Ian Roberts and Matt Walsh. We run two theatres in New York and two in LA, where we feature improv, sketch and standup seven nights a week. We also operate one of the largest improv training centers in the country, with classroom facilities on both coasts. In addition to our classes and live comedy performances, we work with brands, ad agencies, media companies and universities. We run a branded content unit/TV production studio, plus a touring company that performs at theatres and colleges. And our improv workshops are the de facto standard for corporate training.

While we are best known for our zany late-night improv shows, Dad's Garage also provides top-notch workshops and events for corporate and private clients. We offer improv workshops, private shows, and awesome event entertainment in and around the Atlanta area. Improv workshops are about more than learning to tell jokes; our classes teach self-confidence, teamwork, listening skills, and more. Our clients include law firms, media corporations, healthcare providers, nonprofits, and a variety of other organizations that seek a more cohesive team. If you want to increase collaboration, improve communication, and build trust amongst employees, then our improv workshops are a great idea for your business. Founded in 1995, Dad's Garage Theatre has grown from a small volunteer led organization to a thriving mid-size theatre led by professional artistic and administrative staff. We now entertain more than 30,000 people per year at a two-theatre facility in Little Five Points, public events across the state, and at improv festivals across the continent. In addition to our regularly scheduled improv and scripted shows, the Dad's Garage cast regularly performs at private events. Whether you want to add some much-needed laughter to your annual board meeting, or you have a birthday bash full of comedy lovers, we perform wherever you need us. We tailor our shows to fit any audience, and we are just as good producing PG material as we are with late-night comedy. We have options that fit all types of events and budgets. Our work has been recognized and supported by the Atlanta Foundation, Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, Doris Duke Charitable Trust, The Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation, and The Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta. Now a fixture in the Atlanta arts scene, Dad's Garage has won Best Theatre and Best Improv Troupe in Creative Loafing ten years in a row, as well as similar awards in almost every major publication in the city.
