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.

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!

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!

I've loved every step of my improv journey with AndAlso. I've made lifelong friends, the teachers are great and each class has been a celebration of play and laughter. Would definitely recommend!
Kirby
Really fun and friendly classes with outstanding teaching

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.

Come for the improv, stay for the incidental life lessons. Andalso Improv online musical improv classes have made me a better friend and a happier human. It's also made me realize that singing has probably always been about community sharing... read more and bonding with harmony and laughter. And Heather and Joe's supportiveness is relentless!
Linda
A wonderful week of musical improv with Heather. Highly recommended. An outstanding coach.

I travel every Summer from Belgium to take intensive improv classes with AndAlso. Jules Munns' teaching and coaching style brings out characters that are fun to play and watch, and that feel more real but are also more comedic and... read more dramatic. He calls bullshit when he sees it, and gives actually useful feedback. The only problem is that when I go back home, I'm can't play with people who have taken Jules' classes.

*ONLINE only* for me in California; have done literally hundreds of hours of Musical Improv training via Zoom since 2020. LOVE these teachers and this program. Welcoming, inclusive, supportive, knowledgeable -- they will connect with you ...

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.
Jo
I can’t praise AndAlso too highly! All the teachers know their artform inside out, and share their insights with enthusiasm, warmth and humour.
I’ve done many of their classes over the years, and they’re always ridiculously fun, and beneficial in ways... read more you might not expect. Whether you want to hone your improv, build your self confidence, boost your social skills or just have a laugh and make some new friends, AndAlso ticks all the boxes!

Since starting improv classes with AndAlso I have laughed in ways I didn't know were possible, I've become so much braver and more confident, and there is so much more joy in my life. I feel lighter and happier all... read more the time. I've made some wonderful friends and only wish I had discovered improv sooner, as it's completely changed my life for the better.
If you're considering improv, and especially with the AndAlso team, don't wait another second! You'll discover straight away how accessible and inclusive the space is, how capable and caring the teachers are, and that there's no need to be funny or have any acting skills. Simply show up as you are and have the time of your life!

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 😊
James
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.

Both for beginners and those with experience! Over the last decade I've taken improv classes in the Bay Area, Dublin and the UK. This was one of my favourite experiences (I took the “Slow Burn” intensive with Jules Munns). I... read more was not feeling super confident about meeting a whole new set of people beforehand but Jules set the tone so that everyone was gentle and supportive to each other and he also structured the class and provided side coaching so that everyone felt comfortable, inspired and came away being sad the week was over. The scenes had both profoundly emotional moments and very funny talking-about-nothing. I'd do it again in a second. It was also lovely to be able to get to know people from the US, Italy and UK and to hang out in the evenings.

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:)

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
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.

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.
