    The Lottery

    The Improv A Go Go lottery schedule:

    APRIL 1 DRAWING – covers May – September ★ AUGUST 1st DRAWING – covers September-January ★ DECEMBER 1st DRAWING – covers January-May

    Fill out the form at this link at any time to be in the next lottery.

    The draw is done on 12/1, 4/1 and 8/1 at noon every year. At noon on those days a copy of the spreadsheet is generated so the entry form can remain open year round and you can enter any time – if you enter at 12:01pm the day of the lottery your entry just goes into the next round.

    If you enter your group and then find out about conflicts or changes, go ahead and enter it again with all the new information – no problem at all!

    Performer Guidelines

    What you need to know when performing at IAGG:


    • There is a mandatory pre-show meeting at 7pm. That is your call time, no matter when you are up in the show. Someone from your group needs to be there.


    • When promoting the shows please use the show name “Improv A Go Go” and start time of 7:30pm – not just your group name and when you go on, because you’re asking people to come for the whole show rather than just your set.

    • This show has been kept running and vital by the combined efforts of hundreds of people, please join in and help. If you want a packed show, bring a big audience. Do not rely on the theater or the show or the other groups or the audience to “just be there” or they won’t be. We’ve had months of barely anyone in the seats and we’ve had months when every Sunday was packed – both are the direct result of the work groups put into it.

    • Shoes are required to perform, regardless of season.

    • You may not perform if you are impaired by drugs or alcohol. The host/house manager will make the call on what is “impaired” if needed and any further discussions on the subject will take place no sooner than Monday morning (meaning it won’t be something we argue about on Sunday night). These are things I expect not to have to police because you are all adults. Thank you.

    • Groups perform in the order listed on the calendar – which has the groups just starting their run up last/latest – unless there are scheduling needs to address. “We would like to go on last” does not qualify as a real scheduling need.

    • If you will be late for the pre-show meeting please email info@hugetheater.com or text 612-412-4843 as soon as you know.

    • If we have not heard from you and your group is not at the pre-show meeting it will be pulled from the lineup and another group will perform in your place.

    • If your group doesn’t show up and we can’t contact anyone the rest of your dates will be removed from the calendar. This has only happened a couple times in our entire history but given how many people try to get in the lottery and can’t, it is outrageous when we have a group get a spot and then just not show up.

    • If you need to trade dates you may do so with any group on the calendar but please let me know so I can update the master schedule. There is a Slack channel perfect for arranging these trades, but if you need email addresses to get in touch with people, let us know.

    • Please do NOT contact groups that are not on the schedule to fill in, we have a randomly-generated waitlist and replacement groups are contacted in order.
