During the first seven years of the organization, the festival grew from showing 25 ensembles presented to 1, audience members over six nights and 75 workshop attendees to presenting ensembles to 8, audience members over 10 nights and workshop participants.
This growth necessitated the festival expanding from one venue to being held in multiple locations. In the festival's 4th year a program partnership was developed with the city of Chicago to present lectures on improv at the Chicago Cultural Center.
The next year saw an expansion of this relationship to include, lunch time demonstration, a "Family Day", which includes workshops as well as demonstrations, a short film series and "One World on One Stage", that presents the international artists participating in the annual festival performing together at the Cultural Center. As part of the 5th annual festival an award ceremony was included allowing the festival to better honor excellence and innovation in the art form and to recognize the achievements of past Masters.
After the festivals 5th year, Chicago Comedy Syndicate, Inc was dissolved as a corporation. The festival was produced in its 6th year by the sole proprietorship Arts Shaman, Inc.

In a continuing effort to increase CIF? Since starting this program Storybox has reached 3, school children and is expected to reach 6, by the end of the school year.
Programming having been previously centered around the annual festival, which had to date taken place in the spring, was the first year that Chicago Improv Festival's programs extended year round.
During that year CIF presented the 8th annual Chicago Improv Festival, the continuation of the Storybox tour through the end of the school year and resuming at the start of the school year and work with the Chicago Cultural Center.
