The Hartford Improv Festival, endearingly referred to as HIF, is a long-running comedy festival in downtown Hartford, CT, dedicated to uplifting local and national talent. Improv comedy teams from across the nation (and sometimes from Canada! #international) have gathered to perform, mingle, and cheer each other on in one of the most supportive environments around.

We brought the festival back in April 2024 after a 4 year hiatus and we could not have been more thrilled with the result! We know #HIF2026 is going to be another unforgettable 4 days of performances, workshops, and even more jams and community events!
