					Taking classes with AndAlso is one of the best moves I've made. I regularly laugh till I cry; I've learnt so much - both in terms of improv skills but also about myself; the teachers are exceptional at creating a... read more warm, supportive environment, yet still challenging you to push yourself and improve. And being around funny, creative, open-hearted and open-minded people has done wonders for my social life. Highly recommend.				
Emma
 
					I've now completed four improv courses with AndAlso over the last year or so, starting from a base of zero improv knowledge or experience. No regrets! It's masses of fun and all the tutors I've had are funny, proactive and... read more kind, and a lot of thought has gone into the structure of courses so that you build up skill and experience (and therefore confidence) over time. So much work must go into it! And it's amazing that there's an end of course showing in an actual venue at the end to share what you've learned with friends and family. Our classes have opened into proper friendships and a sense of community too, which is a wonderful bonus.
I've never had any issues or problems and I've felt able to ask questions and try stuff out and basically it's great. Come for a taster, stay for the course!

					Heather and Joe offer exceptional classes. They know their stuff, and how to make students of all levels thrive.  Their classes are my favorite fun thing to do. Never in my wildest dream did I ever think I would... read more be singing and writing songs. I am so grateful!

					I’ve been attending Maydays residentials for at least 12 years. Always excellent events, very convivial, great teaching, lots of good improv to see. I run residentials myself and I can see the care and thought that goes into every aspect... read more of the experience.

					I've been taking various regular musical improv online classes with various andalso Improv teachers since 2021 and am so grateful to the person who pointed me to this brilliant, high quality offer. If you have always been attracted to musical... read more improv but are still mustering up the courage to try it out, don't wait any longer and join the international Sunday drop-in at least once. If you have already fallen in love with musical improv, you have come to the right place! I really hope that these classes will go on forever. My life is better because of them.				
Ariane

					Warm-hearted people, great, skilled teachers! Have done two workshops including a Spring retreat and will definitely go back. I specifically appreciate the analytically precise feedback, warm hosting and sheer capacity for joy!

					Superb Superb Superb. If you're looking for an addiction that is healthy for the mind, body and soul.
Go no further than AndAlso Improv.
It is for everyone and all inclusive. Two and a half hours of belly aching laughter is guaranteed... read more every session. Give it a try, you will not be disappointed.				
Martin
 

					A professional setup with a caring community ethos. AndAlso will look after you, whether you're trying improv for the first time or you're a seasoned performer. Each teacher brings something unique, but they all share a passion for this artform... read more and all have the skills to help you get the most from your classes. I've taken classes with AndAlso since October 2022 and would recommend it to anyone. There's something for everyone here!

					If you want to learn new skills, build your confidence and do this whilst having the best time then Heather, Jules and all at Andalso are the people to meet. Their courses have helped me develop and thrive in a... read more positive and fun environment..				
Duncan
 
					Heather and Joe are legends! They manage to create a wonderful fun and safe space to explore and always bring the best out of you. I started classes in lockdown and have not been able to stop! Thoroughly recommend 😊

					Life-changing, soul-affirming stuff. Genuinely really truly love improv – it’s an incredible community and something you should CERTAINLY do if you’re on the lookout for new friends or purpose.

New skills, new friends and a new outlook on your everyday: what’s... read more not to love?

I couldn’t recommend a drop-in session enough – you’ll never know unless you go!				
Sam

					I have been learning improv from Heather and Jules at AndAlso since 2014. I have always loved their approach, non judgemental and also equipping you with skills and tips to improve. Some of my all-time favourite exercises were from their... read more drop-in classes, and I now go every year to their Spring retreat. Highly recommended!				
Fabian
 
					AndAlso offer me an opportunity to do improv online with warm, enthusiastic and knowledgeable teachers. They foster a kind and supportive atmosphere.				
Frank
 
					Living abroad, I'm only able to do improv online with AndAlso Improv. But it has been amazing, Heather is a generous and encouraging teacher. I've learned so much even with her only being a little square on my screen. Hope... read more to experience the school IRL one day!				
Justine

					I flipping love what improv with AndAlso has given me.
Not only a fabulous inclusive community but also skills and fun and utter joyful playfulness which I carry into my work and home life too.
These talented facilitators are serious about having... read more fun and make classes the right level of challenge and learning: a couple of hours a week of mindful surrender to the Gods of Improv seems to take away all the mess of daily life and energise you for the week ahead. I love learning to fail gloriously and then build something beautiful from nothing in great company. It’s the highlight of my week.				
Kerri
 

					I just need to say that this is one of the best things I have done in my life.
I was getting into an “I’m an introvert, I don’t do things like this” mindset. Applying the wrong idea of introversion (which... read more annoys me) to myself.
After seeing my wife in her end of term show I thought what the heck, give it a go.
It’s been enormous fun. It’s like permission for adults to play. Kids naturally improvise all the time don’t they?
It has also I believe been quite healing. I have an arthritic condition that I simply forget about when involved in this. It’s helped me to recognise and believe in a part of myself that I didn’t know existed. A freer part. And I hope psychologically this will affect my condition in a positive way. I wonder if anyone else has had this experience?
It’s also helped me be freer in my art.
I love it.				
Ric
 

					Wonderful team and experience! I've made friends, built confidence and i'm simply much funnier than i used to be! Just completed my second term and am signing up for the next one. Highly recommended.				
Sam
 

					Heather and Joe are the best! I took an online class with them and it was awesome. They are both incredibly talented, adaptable, encouraging and kind. The class gave me lots of great tools to use in musical improv shows.				
Kim
 
					AndAlso Improv offerings open new doors into what's possible with improv theatre. What's delightful about their approach is how it centers around what's enjoyable and unique to the individual improviser's personality, tastes and weirdness.

I recently finished a 12-week online course... read more on improvised high school/teenage musicals. It pushed the limits of what I've seen in the genre of High school musicals, resulting in each session with an enriched toolkit to create compelling characters, compelling narrative structures and kickass improviséd musical numbers.

As a player, it re-established the personal connection to being a teenager and all the creative possibilities emanating from that.

As a regular at AndAlso, the classes and the community have contributed immensely to my improv practice and coaching. Can't recommend enough joining them. Your improv and life will be all the better for it!

Julia
 
					Simply excellent. I've taken a lot of improv courses over the last 10 years. AndAlso has some of the most knowledgable and most caring instructors out there. They know their stuff.

					I did a really effective and exhilarating intestive week of workshops with AndAlso. I am sure I will be back for more. Highly recommended.
