Peoples Improv Theater, Improv theater venue in Manhattan, United States

The Peoples Improv Theater features multiple performance spaces where comedians present stand-up acts, improvisational shows, and interactive sketch performances throughout the week.

The theater promotes diversity through events like QueerProv NYC and Gauze, providing platforms for underrepresented voices in the comedy community.

The theater incorporates audience participation into performances, where spectators' suggestions shape the direction of improvised musical numbers and comedic scenes.
