The Quick Wits Comedy Lab

The Quick Wits improv comedy show started in the Off Broadway Theater in 1994 when Bob Bedore and company were looking for ways to fill off weekends when they didn’t have shows. Through ups and downs and about a dozen venues, the show has been rolling pretty much nonstop since! In the Winter of 2025, Quick Wits found out that they were once again going to lose their performance venue, and decided it was time to set up permanent shop somewhere; that’s when the Comedy Lab was born!

The Quick Wits Comedy Lab was built from scratch in a 1200 square foot room in the basement of a nondescript building in the Millcreek area. Opening in September of 2026, it has been home to the weekly Friday night, family friendly Quick Wits short form comedy show, Les Humorables (the Quick Wits’ improvised musical experience) and several other performances, classes, workshops, and film screenings.

Want to get involved? Great! We want The Lab to be an incubator for all things funny in Salt Lake County, and that might be you or your next big idea. Reach out and let’s make the funny happen together!
