Overview
The Yo Adrienne Improv Festival (YAIF) is Philadelphia's largest improv comedy festival, held at the Adrienne Theater in Center City's Rittenhouse neighborhood. Independently produced by four local improvisers - Sam Miller (Barko), Dominick Arp (SideQuest Theater), Renata Rabinovich (Hat on a Hat), and Kiran Pandey (From the Future) - the festival brings together 30+ teams and over 100 performers from across the country for three days of shows, workshops, and open jams on two stages.
The inaugural 2025 edition featured headliners Schmooty! and Man vs. Movie (with Paul Vaillancourt, iO West cofounder), along with acts from New York, Hartford, Richmond, Harrisburg, and Austin. The festival also includes master teacher workshops and improv jams open to all skill levels.
