Hi, we're The Idiots! We're a group of artists, producers, and performers based in DFW.
We like long walks on the beach and Little Debbie snacks.
'Idiots' may sound like a silly name, but it actually stands for Independent Dallas Improv On TuesdayS. In 2022, we started a little project called Indie Night: a quarterly, free, special event showcasing and celebrating Dallas' vibrant comedy scene.
And that show happens (you guessed it) on Tuesdays!
Since 2022, we are proud to say Indie Night has brought live, homegrown comedy to multiple iconic local theaters and featured over 180 different performers on the stage. Each Indie Night brings a different mix of local teams to the stage! We are incredibly grateful to the comedy community for helping us sustain this show and proving what is possible through creativity and collaboration.
The growth and joy of Indie Night inspired us to not only keep going, but do more. In 2025, we debuted Dallas Indie Comedy Festival: a now four-day event showcasing both
local and national talent. DICF offers audiences emerging and top talent from across the United States, workshops, socials, and fun opportunities to connect as a community.
As we gear up to celebrate Indie Night's 4th Anniversary (November 2026), we're also planning the 3rd Annual Dallas Indie Comedy Fest (April 2027), hosting community events, and collaborating with the community to produce fresh, new shows, special events, and workshops.
Come join us sometime!
Art is important.
Live Comedy Is Real.
Let's create, connect, and laugh!
Your pals,
THE IDIOTS
