The 19th annual Twin Cities Improv Festival will run from June 5 through 8 at the Phoenix Theater in Minneapolis.

Minneapolis trio Five Man Job — Butch Roy, Nels Lennes and Lauren Anderson — founded the festival in 2006 and also run the weekly Improv A Go Go showcase at Minneapolis’ Strike Theater.

The festival features four sets the first three nights and a finale with four troupes on June 8.

In addition to locals, the festival will feature performers from Chicago, Los Angeles, Des Moines and Tokyo.

“The region’s premier celebration of unscripted comedy” will also include a series of workshops, including How to Improvise Like a Married Couple, Be Your Own Action Hero and Character Workout.
