​CONNECT WITH OUR SHOW AUDIENCES: Our typical audience members are college-educated, established professionals between the ages of 30 and 60 with a gender ratio of about 60% women to 40% men. About half the audience regularly and repeatedly attends our shows.

CONNECT WITH OUR GROWING ONLINE PRESENCE: This website gets an average of 6,000 unique visitors and 17,000 page views each month.

CONNECT WITH OUR EXTREMELY LOYAL COMMUNITY: Most students continue taking classes for years and regularly attend shows. Approximately 30% of each show audience are current students. About 75% of the students in our very first classes in 2014 are still part of the HVC community as students, audience members, and/or performers. Our sponsors become part of our happier family.
Going to the Happier Valley Comedy Show is a reminder that people still value smart and creative entertainment, and that there are brilliant performers ready to share that magic with us right here in the Valley. Plus, with all the guest acts HVC brings to town, you can see a show that is always different, always inspiring, and always packed with talents you probably think you need to travel to a big city to experience.”

What Makes HAPPIER VALLEY COMEDY SHOWs special?

  • Happier Valley Comedy remains one of the few improv theaters that pays improvisers to perform. As a result, the show features the very best talent that improv has to offer the Pioneer Valley. Paying artists for their work is an integral part of the HVC mission.
  • ​Happier Valley Comedy Shows primarily feature female performers (by happy accident, not design). And it might be the only show in the improv world that regularly features a cast of middle-aged female performers!
  • Happier Valley Comedy is the winner of the 2017 Daily Hampshire Gazette’s “Readers’ Choice Award” for #1 in Family Entertainment
  • Every Saturday night show is a two-for-one-special! With each 7pm show, audience are invited to attend the 9pm show for free, “More Improv, More Better,” featuring student, indie, and up-and-coming improv teams and an open jam where anyone can play improv games. Typically, a stalwart group of 25-30 (mostly HVC School students) stick around for this community building after-show.
  • Happier Valley Comedy regularly brings in top improv comedy talent to perform and teach from Boston, NYC, Chicago, Hartford, and beyond.
  • Happiness is our job, our commitment, and our atmosphere. "This place feels so happy" is commonly heard when people walk into our theater.
