Help spread laughter
Amalgam Improv aims to share laughter and levity with the community and without a prohibitive cost. We aim to keep our events accessible, so everyone can enjoy them, but we do have some overhead.
Support us below by paying what you can.
As a side note, supporting below is like a Patreon page, but fewer fees for us. Amalgam Improv is not a non-profit so your donations are not tax deductible.

FAQs

Fortunately, the venues we play at don’t currently charge us, but we do rent spaces for practices, workouts, and workshops. This website also costs and we use some automation services to help running a group easier. We try to take advance of free stuff, but sometimes you just gotta pay. This also doesn’t include people’s time.

Probably not for the time being. Non-profits take a bit more to run than a sole proprietor LLC, but we definitely have the spirit of a non-profit. We want to let talented people perform the artform they love- improv- while also lifting peoples’ spirits without price being an exclusionary burden. LLCs can respond and pivot faster than non-profits typically, especially in the formation of an organization.

In a perfect world, we would. Because Amalgam is relatively new, we are exploring different ways to bring in revenue. We believe people should be paid for their efforts. Shows that are ticketed do pay performers. Pay What You Can Shows support Amalgam’s overhead. For now, we are just trying to cover the basic costs of website, space, etc so we people aren’t paying out of pocket.
