About us
NYC Gay Improv is an inclusive improv program from Howdy Stranger, created specifically for gay men, queer folks, and all members of the LGBTQIA+ community who want a space to feel safe, supported, and fully themselves while learning and playing improv together.
These classes are about more than comedy. They’re about confidence, connection, and showing up as you are. You’ll laugh hard, take creative risks, and meet new people in a judgment-free environment that celebrates authenticity.
After class, most students head to a nearby bar to hang out, socialize, and build deeper friendships. Whether you’re brand new to improv or returning to play, NYC Gay Improv is your place to:
• Step out of your comfort zone.
• Laugh with a room full of new friends.
• Strengthen your voice and presence.
• Be part of a joyful, affirming queer community.
Improv is a powerful, transformative tool, and for the LGBTQIA+ community, it’s a chance to be seen, heard, and supported while having an absolute blast.
Life is unscripted. Get better at it.
