Taichung Improv has been running for two years, and includes performers of all nationalities from all over Taiwan. Seoul City Improv was founded in 2007 by Margaret Whittum, an American actor/director working in Seoul. SCI does short and long form improv. In the past three years, SCI has hosted over 35 shows in Haebangchon, Itaewon and Hongdae.
