Silver Spring-based Improbable Comedy will mark 10 years of producing comedy shows in the area with a three-day festival of productions Sept. 15–17 billed as “SPRUNG!”

“Our goal when we held our first show at Vicino’s in 2011 was to bring high-quality comedy much closer to Silver Spring,” said founder and producer Kim Levone. “For ‘SPRUNG!’, we’re continuing in the same tradition; bringing high-quality comedy shows to audiences in Silver Spring.

“Over the course of these last 10 years, I didn’t know Improbable Comedy would become influential in the systemic change in our local comedy scene,” she added, referring to the company’s promotion of women, people of color, immigrants, members of the LGBTQ+ community, as well as comedy programming that focuses on mental health.

“Every lineup is carefully thought out, balancing the diversity of the audience and the performer’s background, a common theme in Improbable Comedy shows,” she said.
