Bend, Oregon · Est. 2022

We teach funny.
We stage funnier.

The Bend Institute of Comedy is where Central Oregon comes to do the thing humans have always done to survive each other: make each other laugh.

Whether you're looking for improv classes in Bend or just want to catch a live, world-class comedy show, this is the place.

Stand-up, improv, sketch, and storytelling — every weekend on our main stage.

Eight-week sessions in improv, stand-up, and sketch writing for every level.

Improv-based workshops for teams. Better listening, faster thinking, more fun.

Our story, mission, and the people behind the laughter.

Confidence is a muscle. Come work it out.
