Improv can help you to be more charismatic and confident socially and professionally! It will deepen your skills in being able to think more quickly on your feet, improve your public speaking, and help you to be a better communicator in a range of settings. Plus it's a lot of fun!


Improv, or improvisational theatre as it's also known, lies at the intersection between drama and humour. We blend a range of storytelling and comedy techniques in all of our classes, and infuse them with Theatresports-like concepts and ideas.

Frequently asked questions

I'm a beginner - will this be difficult?

Classes are very easy and interactive - they're designed for beginners and newcomers to comedy.

I speak English as a second language - is that okay?

Absolutely. A sizeable cohort of people in our class are from overseas. The comedy is not based on your skill of English. This class would be suitable for anyone with intermediate English-speaking skills.

Do I have to stay for food and drinks afterwards?

You can go home straight away, or stick around to get to know everyone - it's very much up to you. We have a little community and if you'd like to join us afterwards to hang out, you're very welcome to.

Will there be a graduation show after the course?

We are looking to begin shows at our venue in November, so potentially! A show would be optional if you're interested. There would be no extra cost for you to be in the graduation show.

How old do I have to be to participate?
