What is Compliment Fest?

A cross between an open mic & a festival — built entirely by the community, for the community.

Show up with an idea for a 20-minute improv set, compile a team (either ahead of time or at the start of the event), and put your idea in a hat. The festival itinerary will be built at random with fair chances for both existing teams and day-of teams. It's improv all the way down!

Whether you're a seasoned performer or it's your very first time on stage — this is your moment. No auditions, no gatekeeping, just pure improvised joy.

How It Works

1

Bring an Idea

Dream up a concept for a 20-minute improv set. Any format, any style — go wild!

2

Form a Team

Rally your crew ahead of time, or find your people right there at the fest. New friends welcome!

3

Into the Hat

Write your idea down and toss it in the hat. The magic of randomness takes over from here.

4

Drawn at Random

Sets are pulled from the hat — fair chances for everyone. The lineup builds itself!
