Laughs on demand: FST Improv Festival

Arguably comedy's purest form, improv takes the art of humor to another level entirely. There's no writing, no time to script jokes, and the show must go on. It's as high stakes as it gets in the performance world. Tonight marks the start of two days of nonstop comedy, including improv performances and workshops as part of the 2014 Florida Studio Theatre Improv Festival.

Comedy-lovers can enjoy performance from nationally renowned improv groups from around the country. The festival's workshops will also be taught by the professional improvisers attending the festival.

Ticket prices vary by show — $49 or $59 and $25 for special-event tickets. Full schedule and pricing list here.
