Not your average networking event.

Comedy After Hours brings together great people, local businesses, and community organizations for an evening that feels more like hanging out with friends than a networking event.

Presented by our Community Partners at Executive Allies!

Each experience shines a spotlight on a local nonprofit making a real difference in our community, giving attendees the opportunity to learn about meaningful causes while supporting organizations doing the important work behind the scenes.

Your evening includes light networking, healthy snacks upon arrival, a fast-paced comedy show, raffle prizes, and a little more time to connect before heading home with a smile and a little extra pep in your step.

Whether you come to meet new people, grow your business, support a great cause, or simply enjoy a night of laughter, you'll leave with something more valuable than another stack of business cards.

You'll leave feeling connected.

We're turning local businesses and offices into places for laughter, and turning laughter into meaningful human networks.

August 18th event is hosted by our friends at Land Home Financial Services in Boise Idaho, and our non-profit spotlight is Spud State Cares.

Want to get involved? Booking additional dates for 2027 for hosts now, and sponsorships for 2026 dates are available. Email Megan@ImprovTeamCulture.com to learn more.

What does it take to power a growing city? More than most of us realize.

Join local leaders from government, business, and the energy sector as they pull back the curtain on how Boise's buildings use energy—and the innovative ways organizations across our community are making them more comfortable, efficient, and resilient. Through local case studies and conversation, you'll discover how our city is preparing for the future and what these ideas might inspire in your own home or neighborhood.

The evening will feature brief presentations followed by a moderated panel discussion and audience Q&A.
