A week of improv shows and workshops at the Covert Theatre in Ponsonby, which produces it with the backing of the Yes And Trust, a charity. Planned for 2020 and cancelled by the pandemic, it ran as a national festival before growing into an international one; its 2026 guest tutors came from the United States, Japan, Canada and Australia.
