Improv Comedy Tournament Show - Preliminary Round

One stage. One chance. Everything on the line.

The first Big Couch Improv Comedy Tournament kicks off with an epic night of play-in preliminaries on Thursday, August 21 at 7:30 PM. And you do not want to miss your opportunity to see which teams rise to the top.

Up to 16 teams will hit the stage, each bringing their unique style, big characters, and wildest choices in a fast-paced, high-stakes battle for just eight spots in the official tournament bracket. A panel of expert judges will decide who advances to the next round set to unfold during our annual Binge celebration weekend (August 28–31).

What to Expect:

• Quickfire sets from a wide variety of improv teams—no two shows the same
• Judged performances with real stakes and real energy
• An early peek at who might go all the way
• The rawest, rowdiest, funniest night of the whole tournament

Whether you’re here to cheer on your friends, scope out the competition, or just witness some wild and wonderful improv, this night is your only chance to see everyone in one chaotic, hilarious showdown.

Only one team will win it all. But it all starts here.
