Looking for improv classes near you? Whether you want to boost your confidence, try something new, or just have a laugh after work, our Brighton-based improv courses are a welcoming place to start. No performance or creative experience is needed—just curiosity and a willingness to play.

We offer regular free taster sessions so you can try it out before committing. Our main courses run for 12 weeks and finish with a fun, low-pressure showcase for friends and family. There are also weekly drop-in classes if you want something more flexible.

Classes take place in central Brighton and online, taught by experienced performers from acclaimed companies including The Maydays, Impromptu Shakespeare and the Olivier Award-winning Showstopper! Our vibe is playful and inclusive, but our teaching is rooted in over 20 years of professional experience.

Most of our students join for fun, confidence, or connection—and many stay to become part of our creative, welcoming community. Whether you’re 22 or 62, solo or coming with a friend, you’ll be warmly welcomed.

Come and see what improv can do for you.
