February 4th 2024 @ 11:00 - 13:00

Free – £25.00

For the audience, it’s magic, for the performers, it feels like flying. Tunes and lyrics appear from nowhere, and for a moment, you get to be in the room where it happens. Musical improv is maybe a bit like cheating.

Available in Brighton and Online, our musical Improv drop ins are for everyone over the age of 18, from the improv music newbie, to the twenty-year player. You don’t need any musical improv experience, or even the ability to sing. Our expert teachers and musician will make you look like lyrical and musical geniuses. No cheating is necessary.

(NB, although we do not require it, some improv experience is advised for this class. If you have never done any improv before, we recommend starting with our Open Drop-In Class.)

If there are accommodations that we can make to improve your experience, please email us in confidence at hello@andalsoimprov.com.

General terms and conditions:

  • Our drop in classes have a minimum of 4 people to ensure a good experience for all participants. If a class has to be cancelled, you wil be notified with a minimum of two hour’s notice and a full refund will, of course, be issued.
  • Improv works best when the group is connected, so we ask that participants make every effort to be on time.
  • If you are on an AndAlso course, you can join us at a drop-in with a 50% discount during that time.
  • Cancellation Policy
