The 5th Annual South Florida Improv Jam (SFIJ 5), was held on Saturday, August 19, in Miami at the Miami Museum of Science and Planetarium Theatre, and hosted by Just The Funny.

Once again raising money for charity, proceeds from SFIJ 5 benefited Children's Home Society of South Florida.

Organized by David Christopher, SFIJ 5 continued the tradition of bringing together South Florida's Improv Community through collective performance and workshop instruction.

The 5th South Florida Improv Jam continued the tradition of using a pure jam format, in a 2 hour 30 minute show comprising of 4 mixed-cast "mini-troupes," performing improv and sketch comedy showcases, and directed by one member of each of the troupes involved. 

SFIJ 5 featured cast members and directors from South Florida improv and sketch comedy troupes Gated Community, Impromedy, Improv Yourself!, Just The Funny, Mod 27, They Improv, and Under Construction.

SFIJ 5 also featured FREE improv and sketch comedy workshops offered to the general public earlier in the day, a first for the South Florida Improv Jam!

SFIJ 5 was a phenomenal success, selling out the Miami Museum of Science and Planetarium, while keeping audience members rolling in the aisles with a fantastic blend of short form improv, long form improv, and sketch comedy, with a quick group jam to end the show.

About The South Florida Improv Jam

The South Florida Improv Jam (SFIJ) is an annual improv benefit performance that celebrates and promotes improvisation throughout South Florida.  The goal of the event is to raise money for charity, and to get local improv groups to get together and work together in an effort to get local audiences to support theatrical improvisation as an art form.

The South Florida Improv Jam is not a competition and is not geared towards the promotion of any one group, but to all of the improv groups that participate, and improv as a whole in South Florida.

The South Florida Improv Jam is used by permission from the Miami based improv group, Just The Funny to local improv groups wishing to host the event.  The event is held once a year, with proceeds from the event going to local and national charities, and for the maintenance of improvsouthflorida.com.

Improv South Florida is the official information outlet and resource for The South Florida Improv Jam.
