About Queen City Improv
Founded in 2017, Queen City Improv is a comedy troupe based in Manchester, New Hampshire and proud to be part of the local entertainment scene. We specialize in improv comedy, where our members create and perform scenes with no script or preparation.
At Queen City Improv, our mission can be summed up as ‘improv for the people’. We strive to achieve this by offering opportunities for all skill levels to come learn and play in a safe and welcoming environment.
Our improv style is built around cultivating strong, dynamic characters that drive engaging games and scenes in both short and long form improv. We are dedicated to allowing our characters to discover and highlight the unusual elements within each scene, creating unique and memorable performances.
