What is the Mobile Improv Comedy Carnival? What will it be like?
The MICC is Mobile, Alabama’s first improv comedy festival. It will be two nights of improv comedy acts from around Mobile, the Gulf Coast and the entire country and one day of improv comedy workshops for everyone, from people just wanting to try out improv for the first time to seasoned professionals. We hope to showcase an array of different groups, formats and comedy styles, and provide a hilarious, fun couple of nights for everyone!

The Mobile Improv Comedy Carnival is taking place April 17 & 18, 2026. The shows will all take place in the Mobile Carnival Museum in downtown Mobile. The location(s) for the workshops have not yet been announced.
