Improv Comedy Classes

Powerfully creative, intensely playful and highly enjoyable. This class is a way of exploring comedy and theatre with no script, where anything can happen! Improv can increase your confidence, unleash creativity, hone your performance skills, and be loads of fun.

“It’s like skydiving for the imagination” – Rose

These drop-in sessions for adults are intended to be suitable for everyone. You don’t need to feel quick, clever, funny, or have any previous improv experience. As the class runs on a drop-in basis, each class is stand-alone so you don’t need to attend a series of sessions, just come as and when you want to.

The workshops are led by Rebecca MacMillan who’s been teaching and performing improv for more than 20 years.

If you come along on the night without booking and get a space, you can pay with cash or card on arrival, so long as there is room.
