Impy 500 Finals

Saturday, May 30, 2026 @ 7:30 PM EDT • $17.10 (includes fees)

Description
The Indianapolis 500 is arguably Indiana's most-honored tradition. For the last 115 years, the event has seen glorious victories, agonizing defeats, and everything in between. Come see the inception of what is destined to become Indiana's second-most-honored, 115-year tradition, as Fort Wayne Improv presents the inaugural Impy 500.

Here's how the Impy 500 works:

  • On Friday night, 5 improv troupes take the stage one at a time for the qualifiers.
  • Each troupe is given 500 seconds to put on their best improv performance, be it short-form improv, long-form improv, or a mixture of both.
  • The audience determines their two favorite teams by being as loud as the infield at the Indy 500.
  • The two teams return for the Saturday night championship, with each team given 25 minutes to perform whatever improv they'd like.
  • The audience decides the champion of the night. 
  • The champion is crowned.
The stakes couldn't be higher. The anticipation couldn't be more.

Who will drink milk from the coveted Impy Cup? Hopefully, no one who is lactose intolerant.
