The Immediate Gratification Players

Inspired by the Keith Johnstone book Impro, the founding group performed traditional improv and long-form theme-based shows.

Each year, the Immediate Gratification Players host the Laugh Riot improvisational comedy festival at the American Repertory Theater.

In 2007, they were selected out of the numerous Boston-based improv troupes to star in several comedy sketches produced by the Boston Globe in its Peter Post etiquette section.
