"$40 for the 40th"

BATS Improv is celebrating a remarkable milestone in 2026; 40 years of bringing laughter, creativity, and connection to the San Francisco Bay Area! To mark this anniversary, we’re launching our "$40 for the 40th" campaign, inviting friends, fans, and community members to celebrate with a gift of $40 in honor of our four decades of artistry.

For 40 years, BATS has been more than just performances—it’s been a place where people discover their voices, take creative risks, and share joy across generations. Our shows have sparked laughter for thousands of audience members, while our classes have nurtured beginners and professionals alike. Supporting "$40 for the 40th" means ensuring that this inspiration continues for the next generation of storytellers and theatre lovers.

Giving to BATS also means honoring the artists who have built this company over the decades—improvisers, coaches, and volunteers who have dedicated countless hours to keeping our stage vibrant. By supporting "$40 for the 40th", you help us continue creating a space that fosters creativity, celebrates diversity, and welcomes everyone.

Join us in celebrating 40 years with a gift that’s as joyful as an improv scene: unexpected, heartfelt, and deeply connected to the community we serve. Your $40 gift honors BATS’ past and invests in its future.
