All That Jazz Improv, established in 2013, is one of the longest-running musical improv troupes in the San Francisco Bay Area, creating unique, fully improvised, Broadway-style musicals set in the swingin’ jazz era of the 1920's-1960's. We make up the story, songs, and dances ON THE SPOT, based on an audience suggestion. Come join us hep cats and kittens as we transport you back in time! It’s the cat’s meow! Website: All that Jazz
Gamesome Frolic improvise in the style of the Bard (tongue in cheek!), often rhyming, drawing on the good ol’ stock characters- rivaling brothers, tavern brawls, long journeys through forests, mistaken identities. We have musical accompaniment and we often sing tunes.
Emotional Overtones-known for their orange leis, the performance arm of South Bay Musical Improv, do a fun format where they take a location and a suggested concept and weave it into overlapping stories and songs. There will indeed be drama-and yes-a whole lot of singing and dancing.
What is South Bay Musical Improv? Who are these people?
We host monthly jams, support performers of all experience levels, and believe musical improv should be joyful, inclusive, and accessible to anyone who wants to sing, play, or just watch.
No experience required. Curiosity Encouraged! Come check out a "Toast & Jam" every 3rd Tuesday from 7:30–9:30 PM at Mimosas of Willow Glen.
Come sing, support, or just watch and enjoy brunch-for-dinner vibes and spontaneous musicals.
🧡 Ask about the Mimosical! — a color-changing drink created just for us. (alcoholic and nonalcoholic options are available)
What is a toast and Jam?
A "toast and jam" is an interactive event that serves as a casual improv workshop and performance all in one. It is similar to an open mic or an improv "jam," where anyone, regardless of experience level is welcome to get on stage and improvise scenes and songs with the performers.
Participation is optional: You can choose to join the performers on stage or simply watch and laugh from the audience.
Supportive environment: The sessions are designed to be fun and supportive, a welcoming opportunity for all levels to experience the joy of musical improvisation.
Anyone can join: — performers and audience members alike. They are wildly fun, hilarious and full of joy!
Essentially, it's a chance to "toast" the venue/group and "jam" (improvise) with others in a low-pressure setting.

The Emotional Overtones is the performance group within the South Bay Musical Improv community.
Known for bringing the party with us (and our orange flower leis), we perform fully improvised musicals across the Bay Area. We will come perform elsewhere and we invite other groups to come perform with us!
🏆 Proud to have been voted the audience favorite improv group three months in a row.
