Comedy Fiesta

The Comedy Fiesta is a bilingual-friendly night of improv, comunidad, and a whole lot of laughs designed to bring together Dallas's Latine community and the Dallas comedy community at large. We start with a fun, low-pressure one-hour drop-in improv class where experienced performers, complete beginners, English speakers, Spanish speakers, and everyone in between can meet, play, and get comfortable together. Then it's ¡a jugar! We'll mix newcomers and experienced improvisers into teams to perform short, fun long-form sets for a live audience. Scenes can happen in English, Spanish, Spanglish or whatever combination inspires the performers in the moment.

You absolutely do not need to speak Spanish to participate. If you're fluent, ¡dale! If you know a little and want to practice, perfecto. If the only Spanish you remember is "¿Dónde está el baño?" you're still invited. Whether you're looking to try improv for the first time, practice your Spanish in a ridiculously supportive environment, explore bilingual comedy, get more stage reps, or simply meet new people, come join the fiesta.

You don't need the right language, the right experience, or the perfect joke. Just come ready to play and connect.
