Established in Bellingham, WA by world renowned improviser Ryan Stiles, The Upfront Theatre is a cabaret style venue that offers live improv comedy every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights. The Upfront is for all ages and continues to attract all walks of life searching for a good time. The Upfront Theatre is a professional organization that provides innovative, high-quality performance and education rooted in the art of improvisation. Guided by the core values of improv, we commit to continually push the boundaries of our craft while exploring the comedy and truths of the human experience.

Notably, we are known for our long form narrative shows including our popular murder mystery Hellingham, and other genre long forms Cops 911, Space Trek and many more.
