Cincinnati's place for world-class improv comedy. OTRimprov is your home for the best improv in Cincinnati and the best improv training in the region.

For the curious and the confident alike, we are here for you. Or maybe you want to see your team work together better and find new, creative ways to problem solve. We have the training for you, too! We started at Know Theatre of Cincinnati as part of the Jackson Street Market. Recognizing the distinct lack of regularly scheduled improv performances in Cincinnati, especially Downtown and in Over-the-Rhine, OTRi looks to provide this particular brand of entertainment in order to further strengthen Cincinnati’s established arts community. Members of the team come from all walks of life and various communities in Greater Cincinnati to bring their own brand of humor to both short-form and long-form improvisation.

Opening the underground with the impressive feat of dying to yourself in a sword fight Pizza McGillicuddy and Adrian&Carolyn with creative use of what can be considered "the stage" by losing a fight to a vampire rabbit... So if yes, and is the rule to broaden a scene, the unofficial rule to end one has to be "All improvisers must die"
