Wait… did we just announce
FREE WEDNESDAY SHOWS THIS SUMMER?!?!
That’s right. Not a typo.
Free Wednesday Comedy Shows at Improv Asylum
This summer, Wednesday nights at Improv Asylum are getting a little louder, a little wilder, and a whole lot more… free!
Join us for Free Wednesday night comedy shows at 7:30 PM from July 15 through August 26. Each week, our Wednesday Company takes the stage for a fast, funny, fully made-up-on-the-spot improv show right in the heart of Boston’s North End.
It’s our gift to you, Boston!
(And if you happen to be a visiting tourist, that’s fine. We won’t tell.)
Free tickets are limited and can be reserved in advance.
How It Works
Choose from two ticket options depending on how you want to experience the show:
Freebie General Admission
$0 ticket
Reserve your free spot in advance. Freebie ticket holders will line up outside the theater before doors open, and seating is first come, first served.
Skip the Line with Premium Guaranteed Seating
$25 all-in
Want the best seat without the wait? Premium tickets include guaranteed seating, early entry, and free popcorn.
Forget Prince Spaghetti!
