Brighton One Offs

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 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!

A perfect meld of learning, listening and laughter. Thanks Jules and Heather for a joyful weekend in a beautiful place.

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!

Love the variety, love the play. Every session is different yet has a grounding theme. I open up and learn more about my confidence to interact with others and let funny appear. No need to even be funny… the sessions... read more just bring it out. The growing connections with the group are half of the experience… building friendship over time in a playful setting is really relaxing and enjoyable! I want to go all the way… to the end of all the levels and ‘complete’ comedy improv haha. Such a great journey to jump into :))

Brilliant empathetic instructors who make classes interesting and fun!!!

All the lessons I've had with AndAlso (and the retreat I went on), have been fantastic, I’ve learnt so much from them. It’s 90% hilarity and 10% deep and meaningful/emotional. Whether you want to do improv for fun, learning or... read more personal growth, I can heartily recommend them.

Most amazing teachers: inspiring, supportive, challenging and hilarious. Can't recommend Andalso improv courses highly enough

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.

A week of the most joyous, educational, non-stop, intensive, musical improv. Heather, Jules, and Joe work at the top of the game as professional improvisers and as master teachers.

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!

Got to do a musical improv intensive from AndAlso Improv! SO WONDERFUL. I was lucky enough to be able to work with Heather and Jules and Joe and this crew has some mad chops for improv.

Take your improv skills to the next level in a safe, supporting and nurturing environment.

So far I've completed two terms and an intensive, and I have nothing but praise for this school and its teachers. If you're wondering if improv is for you, grab one of their taster sessions or dive into a 1a.... read more Everyone in class is lovely and you'll be encouraged to sit in that sweet spot between pushing yourself beyond your usual habits and enough comfort and safety to find new discoveries. The deeper you go in, the more you learn! Yes it's fun and that's magnificent, but it's also soul and mind-expanding, which can't be bad.

AndAlso offer me an opportunity to do improv online with warm, enthusiastic and knowledgeable teachers. They foster a kind and supportive atmosphere.

All my Improv experiences have been excellent - the teachers are the perfect mix of fun and informative. The workshops feel like a very safe space

Just completed the “Slow Burn” intensive workshop with Jules Munns. Jules is a very well organized, articulate and experienced teacher. He considers each participant’s wishes for growth in improv skills and follows through with that in the course. The workshop... read more is fun, supportive, and focused.

So I've been doing improv now with AndAlso for nearly two years. It's been the best decision I've made in that time and one of the best I've ever made in general. Courses have not only provided an incredible amount of... read more laughs, a link into the wonderful Brighton improv scene and a lot of friends, it's also reduced my fear of failure when going into things. My confidence is much better, I think so much faster on the spot and it's helped me adapt to more stressful situations. The end of course performances have been some of the best nights I've ever had. The camaraderie, the comedy and feeling of having done a great show is a thrill that lasts for days after. The teachers are all brilliant, they're wonderfully friendly and funny people. Their passion for improv comedy comes across in every lesson and it's very endearing. Given that I'm in the fourth paragraph I think you'll believe me when I say I can't praise them enough. These guys are great, if you end up doing this then welcome to the Brighton improv scene. It's a great place to be.

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!

Taking classes with AndAlso is one of the best moves I've made.

And being around funny, creative, open-hearted and open-minded people has done wonders for my social life. Highly recommend.

I really enjoyed the Show and I saw that people have developed their Improv skills creativity and confidence massively in recent months. I laughed a lot:)
