[edit] History
In 1982, Ellen Holbrook, a former student of Second City, put together the first incarnation of ImprovBoston, with the encouragement of former members of the Proposition, an earlier improv-comedy troupe. At first, she organized several loosely knit bands of improvisers into teams that competed in an “Improv Olympics” at Reilly’s Beef and Pub and later at Satch's in Boston. Eventually, this format was replaced by the unified group known today as ImprovBoston. In 1984, ImprovBoston began performing at Ryles in Inman Square, before acquiring a lease on the Back Alley Theater in 1993.
