The Magnet Theater is New York City’s home to some of the best improvisational comedy in the country. For over a decade, Magnet has quietly amassed a loyal fan base to its storefront theater just South of Madison Square Garden. It’s packed nearly every night with an audience eager to see shows consistently recommended as top picks by Time Out New York, The Onion, and other critics that matter.

Magnet is also a highly respected comedy training center under the direction of the legendary Armando Diaz. Magnet’s improv system is strategically designed to turn normal human beings into exceptionally funny long-form improvisers, and its success is evident every night on the Magnet stage where students and graduates pull off incredible feats of unscripted theater.

The Magnet Theater Touring Company brings the very best up-and-coming comedic talent to you; to your school, your theater, your organization. The Magnet Touring Cast consists of some faces you may recognize, and others about whom you’ll certainly be able to say, “I saw them when.”

What Will I Get?

You’ll get full sets of incredible, mind-blowing long-form improvisation combined with the best teachers of the art of improvisation around–how could you go wrong? You can’t. That’s how.

You’ll get it all at a price that make your budget committee happy, and your bookkeeper suspicious.

The Magnet Touring Company delivers big laughs and quality classes at an affordable price.
