Ghostfest is the sixth annual longform improv comedy marathon and starts on Friday, October 21st at 6pm and runs through the wee hours of Sunday, October 23rd. Ghostfest is produced by The Torch Theatre as a fundraiser for the Phoenix Improv Festival.

Ghostfest is 32+ hours of non-stop improv action with 80+ different shows, from the sublime to the ridiculous! In addition to performances by The Torch Theatre’s mainstay shows and troupes like Mail Order Bride, Galapagos, The Neighborhood, Zombie Gourmet and The Skewed News Hour, Ghostfest will feature groups & shows from all over the city & nation rocking a wide variety of formats and themed shows to stir up some ridiculous fun!

In addition to primetime performance slots, Ghostfest will include late night, overnight, & early morning shows that skew toward the ridiculous & the experimental. It will also include Ghostfest Jr., a Saturday morning programming block of shows just for kids!
