Our improv is made from pure Connecticut suggestions, some of the most satisfying suggestions this side of Long Island Sound.

We take those suggestions and, though a tradition passed down to us by improv artisans at Hartford Stage, ImprovBoston, and the Upright Citizens Brigade, we produce fresh comedy scenes, songs, and games.

Our community-based approach creates a sustainable improv ecosystem. We teach, perform, and consume more improv here than anywhere else in the Connecticut River Valley.

Our improvisers are fed a diet of custom-made rehearsals, major city training, and rich and varied outside interests.

Try our all-natural improv, and you’ll see why Sea Tea Improv has been the choice of thousands of Connecticut event planners, business trainers, party throwers, and comedy show-goers since 2009.
