The Main Stage Show

Get ready for Improv Asylum’s signature show, where six quick-witted performers deliver nonstop, lightning-fast improv inspired by your suggestions. Expect audience interaction, original music, outrageous characters, and the kind of unpredictable comedy that keeps the room buzzing.

This October, Nightmare on Hanover Street is the Main Stage cast’s frightfully funny Halloween revue — six fearless performers conjure up a night of spooky, side-splitting comedy inspired entirely by your suggestions! From haunted hilarity and creepy characters to audience-interactive scenes and wickedly original music, every moment is made up on the spot.

No two shows are ever the same, which means every visit is a fresh burst of comedy. But hurry, Nightmare on Hanover Street only runs through Halloween!

For nearly 30 years, audiences have gone wild for Improv Asylum, earning us the title of Boston’s Best Comedy again and again.
