Our producing team and Philly’s improv scene are excited to come together under one roof for a weekend celebrating excellence in improvisational comedy, and the camaraderie of the worldwide improv community. We The People has your back and we can’t wait to laugh with you!
ABOUT OUR NAME
PHIT chose the opening words of the United States Constitution as the name of our improv festival because they evoke our hometown, Philadelphia, the site of its writing, and because we seek to produce a festival representative of our interpretation of this famous phrase: one which includes all people – regardless of race, creed, or identity.
