Get Ready to Rise to the Moment as the Manila Improv Festival 2026 is back at the Proscenium Theater

Manila Improv Festival, Asia’s biggest festival for improvisational theater and comedy returns for its 7th year happening on March 25 to 29, 2026 at The Proscenium Theater, Rockwell.

Started in 2015 by SPIT Manila and its school Third World Improv, the Manila Improv Festival has earned an increasing following from local and international improvisers, enthusiasts and fans. Recently, improv comedy has broken through mainstream media with the success of SPIT Manila and other improv groups on social media. The festival aims to make improvisation more accessible to a wider, more diverse audience than ever before.

This year’s Manila Improv Festival is produced by Sanghimig Performing Arts and Travel Consultancy in association with SPIT Manila and in partnership with Rockwell Center’s The Proscenium Theater.
