FreeWhat is improv, anyway?
Improv is theatre—or comedy—without a script. It’s stories and scenes made up on the spot. But it’s also so much more. It’s a brilliant way to build confidence, stay calm under pressure, spark creativity, and meet new people. It can shift how you see the world, how you relate to others, and even how you understand yourself. And yes, it’s guaranteed to make you laugh.
Improv is many things: you might call it yoga for the soul, or mindfulness for show-offs (although plenty of non-show-offs love it too).
So… what does it actually feel like?
That’s where our free taster sessions come in.
These friendly, no-pressure classes are the perfect way to dip your toe into improv and see what it’s all about. You’ll be gently introduced to core improv ideas—like saying “yes and,” supporting your scene partners, and being obvious (in the best way). Through fun warm-ups and easy group or pair exercises, you’ll get a real taste of the joy and connection that improv offers.
The session lasts 90 minutes, and there’s no commitment—just come along, have a go, and see what you think. There may even be a cheeky discount if you decide to join our beginner’s course afterwards.
Who is it for?
Absolutely anyone over 18. We welcome people of all backgrounds, experiences, identities, and abilities. We believe improv is for everyone, and we do our best to make our sessions as accessible and inclusive as possible.
If there’s anything we can do to make the class more comfortable for you, just drop us a line at hello@andalsoimprov.com.
