About Front Porch Improv

According to Connect Savannah, Front Porch Improv "has been a leading force in the local comedy scene, consistently providing incredible improv comedy performances." The ensemble has grown to include graduates from prestigious comedy institutions including Upright Citizens Brigade (NYC), People's Improv Theatre (NYC), iO Chicago, The Groundlings (LA), and Theatre 99 (Charleston), plus talented homegrown Savannah performers.
