Welcome to Bandit Theater's BOO-Gie Benefit - our fifth annual in-person fundraiser! The festivities will take place Saturday, October 24th, 2026 from 7-11pm at the historic Washington Hall. Join us for an incredible night of spookiness, laughs, community, and fun - all to fundraise for Bandit Theater: the home for game-based, long-form improvisation in Seattle and Tacoma. 

Come learn a thing or two … or nothing at all! Science, Technology, Engineering, Math, and improv comedy unite for Mad Science. Every show we invite a special guest to share their real cutting-edge research and stories from the academic front-line for our team of improv comedians to warp, twist, and turn on its head. No laboratory could have synthesized an improv show like this. (Bandit Theater IRB approved.)

Join Bandit as we invite some of the most talented tattoo artists onstage to talk about life, art, and everything under the sun! Enter your name to win a free tattoo while our team of improvisers creates comedy based on the interviews.

Dear Diary is part sleepover, part confession booth, and part completely improvised chaos.

Each show, special guests crack open their real diaries, journals, and teenage notebooks to share the crushes, secrets, heartbreaks, and embarrassing moments they once swore no one would ever read.

Then, Bandit Theater’s all-woman-identifying improv team takes those diary entries and turns them into totally unscripted comedy inspired by the stories they’ve heard.

Come for the secrets. Stay for the comedy. And be very grateful no one found your diary.

Politics feels heavy right now. We’re here to make you laugh—and get you excited to vote.

Yes, and Vote is a one-weekend-only event featuring two nights and three shows each night. Every show brings a fresh slate of real local candidates to the stage for a live interview covering their platforms, their pet issues, and the campaign-trail story they swore they would never tell in public.

Come watch as our newest comedians hit the stage. After weeks of writing, workshopping, and wondering, "Can I actually say this into a microphone?" our stand-up students are ready to show off what they've been cooking up in their 8 week course at Bandit Theater.

Can I get a suggestion? A suggie? A hot hot suggie? It’s Bandit Theater’s staff and student mashup show! This celebratory showcase features the Bandit players you know and love plus new rising stars from Bandit’s Improv Training Program. Come see our students before they hit the big time in this joyful, free-form bonanza of improv comedy talent.

Ready to stretch your creative muscles in a fun, supportive environment? Join us for Bandit Theater's Round Up Improv Jam, a "pay-what-you-want" event where everyone from seasoned performers to complete beginners can step into the spotlight!

Are you able to tell if your friends were toking in the parking lot? Think you are excellent at sniffing out the stoners in the room? Bandit Theater has the show for you! Who’s High? Each month we invite a different community-beloved standup comic to lead the show with a set. Then a cast of improvisers will create fully improvised scenes based on their material. The only trick: half the players are sober and half are high. After the show it’s your turn to guess: Who’s High? This FREE show is made possible thanks to 4Culture's 2026 Public Free Access Grant!

Join Bandit Theater for our cage match-style improv show. What happens when three improv teams go head to head? You, the audience, get to decide who moves forward. The only catch—these teams are decided by their astrological signs. We will determine, once and for all, which zodiac is the best at improv. It’s written in the stars. It’s Star Clash!
