Thank you to all our performers. The local improv stars who took the time to grace our stages. The out of town performers who came to Winnipeg to impress us with their style and be impress by our town.

 Thank you to all the crew of volunteers the festival has, our improv community, that makes all the gears work and makes the festival run smooth.

 Thank you to all the audiences who come out to the shows, laugh at the jokes, gasp at the stories and applaud at the art we make up only once.
