The 8th annual Ghostfest is a 32+ hour marathon of improv comedy shows produced by The Torch Theatre as a fundraiser for the Phoenix Improv Festival. Ghostfest 2018 is Friday, October 12th, & Saturday, October 13th.
Ghostfest 2018 has two amazing stages within walking distance of each other and they feature some of the best improv comedy around:
– The Torch Theatre (4721 North Central Avenue near Central & Camelback Road) features 107 shows for over 32 hours in a row starting on Friday, October 12th at 6pm. From some of Phoenix’s mainstays and visiting performers from San Diego and Portland to one-of-a-kind experimental & wild late night/early morning shows, you can choose a $15 all-shows pass or a $10 six-hour pass!
