Host a jam at IMPRO Amsterdam

IMPRO Amsterdam is filled with talented, hilarious people. Build community and give everyone a chance to get on stage by hosting a jam.

Every year, we host 2-3 jams for the festival community. Jams are opportunities for EVERYONE at the festival to get onstage and play!

Submissions for jam slots are open until 18 September!

What do you look for?

Jams are open to everyone at the festival. They should be designed to be fun, playful, and get a lot of people on stage. We love an unusual theme, structure, or host! We’ve all been to (and enjoyed) standard short-form jams, so we’re looking for something with a little more personality.

Previous editions of the festival have included:

  • A D&D themed jam, complete with capes and dice

  • A live karaoke jam without a song list - made up songs only!

  • An all-languages jam

  • A jam featuring and focusing entirely on one object: a wok

Interested in submitting as a jam host?
Applications open on 18 July and close 18 September.

What can the festival offer?

The chance to host a 45-minute jam for the festival attendees. Jams take place in the Blauwe Zaal of the Zonnehuis, with an 80 seat occupancy— there’s lots of space, time, and people ready to play your jam!

Additionally, jam hosts receive 20% off of all workshops they decide to sign up for, as well as a voucher for one free night of shows at the festival.
