Yes, Ann Improv Fest

June 25-27, 2026

Headliner announcements and VIP ticket packages are posting soon!

Headlining shows will bring nationally recognized talent to the main stage at the historic Michigan Theater in downtown Ann Arbor. We will feature four distinct headlining shows at 7 pm and 9 pm on Friday, June 26 and Saturday, June 27.

We are now accepting submissions for festival spots in our regional showcase. Submissions are due March 17 and decisions will be made by April 1 to allow groups time to plan their travel.

We are also planning an improv intensive experience midweek on Tuesday, June 23 and Wednesday, June 24.

Information for teams interested in performing:

Apply here to perform at the showcase portion of the Yes, Ann Improv Festival in Ann Arbor, Michigan, from June 25-27, 2026. There is no application fee to apply, but accepted teams will be charged a $20 processing fee. Teams will need to secure their own transportation to Ann Arbor and lodging. Discounted or free lodging *may* become available, but is not a guaranteed perk. Teams will receive free entry into undersold showcase shows (space permitting), but will not receive complimentary tickets to headlining shows.
