Ottawa Improv Fest 2025

This year’s OIF was a fun-filled extravaganza. Over three days (May 30 – June 1st) we saw an astounding mix of local, national and international acts. We had high-energy audiences who had a rip-roaring good time.

We had our first-ever Tri-City Show that brought together performers from Ottawa, Montreal and Toronto. There was an uproarious Battle of the Neighborhoods: Five teams in an improv smackdown and a most unconventional giant map of Ottawa got passed around the audience (you had to be there!).

Thanks to everyone who made it possible, especially to our Festival Directors – Josh Mayo and Krystal Merrells. They gave it their all and more. Hats off to our volunteers, you know who you are. Couldn’t have done it without you.

Finally we thank the City of Ottawa Arts Funding Program for supporting fun and laughter in the Capital.
