FAQ

As a BIF performer, which is the policy about me watching shows at BIF?

As a BIF performer, with your BIF performer pass, you can watch all non-full shows. And we’ve added a larger venue to our lineup that will include a block of 50 seats just for BIF performers. However, the only way to ensure that you will get into a particular show is buy a ticket for it. You get a discount on all tickets for yourself – only $5.

I am in an improv or sketch group and I have concerns about the tech part of my show. What should I do?

For performers needing specific tech cues, beyond just lights up at start and down at the end with music, please email a tech cues document to BIFinfo@improvboston.com. In the subject line of the email, please write “Tech: Act Name, Date and Time of show.”

At the top of the tech cues document, please include “Act Name, Performers Names, Date and Time of show.”

All tech cues MUST be received by September 1st. We can not give groups the time for a full tech run-though. Those that send it their tech cues by September 1st will be scheduled for a 15 minute tech slot between 4-6:30pm on the day of their show.

As a BIF performer, do I get a discount on workshops?

All BIF performers receive a great discount on workshops. With a performer pass, workshops are only $10.

As a performer, do I receive any comp tickets?

We do not issue any comp tickets during the festival.

Where are the parties?

We have set after parties for performers each night. Each group will receive a list of the after parties when they check in. We will also be sending out an email to each group’s ‘primary contact’ once a day during the festival - with festival updates, workshop info, and after party details.
