About Improbable Comedy: Founded in 2012 by social-worker-turned-comedy-producer Kim Levone, Improbable Comedy has hosted hundreds of shows in local venues around the DMV. The goal has been to transform the industry by giving the mic to hilarious comedians who have been underrepresented on stage. Since our first show at Vicino's restaurant, we have brought big laughs to theatres, bars, swanky clubs, and people's homes. We now have regular shows at Busboys & Poets and the Arts Barn as well as partnerships with the Montgomery Parks Department and at the Silver Spring Black Box Theatre. SPRUNG! Comedy Festival is a showcase of our many great shows and partners, now in its fourth year. Follow us at improbablecomedy.com
