The Countdown Improv Festival returns to Ybor City for its 9th year—BIGGER AND BETTER than ever! With more than 120 performing acts, Countdown is the largest showcase and celebration of improv comedy in the country. This year's festival will take place over five nights across four stages at TWO venues -- the HCC Ybor City Performing Arts Building & The Commodore!
And Countdown is so much more than hilarious improv shows! This year's event will feature workshops for adults, kids, and the Tampa Bay military & veterans community, as well as open play jams and so much more. Snag an All-Festival Pass, or upgrade to our Countdown Campus Pass for the all-inclusive Countdown experience!
Countdown will have you laughing and amazed by the totally unscripted, in-the-moment hilarity created right before your eyes. Join us at HCC Ybor City and The Commodore from Wednesday, August 6, 2025 – Sunday, August 10, 2025!
