Yo Adrienne Improv Festival

The theater not the Rocky Character

The Yo Adrienne! Improv Festival is back for a second year of comedy and community, featuring some of the nation’s finest improv comedy talent in the heart of Rittenhouse Square. Split across three days and two stages, the festival will feature nonstop laughter as performers build shows without a script, creating worlds and characters based on audience suggestions. Headlining the festival is RaaaatScraps, one of New York City’s most renowned improv acts, in their final Philadelphia performance. The festival will also include a series of workshops and jams, perfect opportunities for seasoned improvisers and first-time performers alike. The festival runs July 31–August 2, 2026, at the Adrienne Theater.
