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!
Viola
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.

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. They are incredibly attuned... read more coaches and create an emotionally supportive environment to learn and grow, which in turn helps individuals feel safe enough to unleash the most creative and daring parts of themselves and care greatly for their teammates. Highly recommend.

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!

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:)
Julia
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.

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

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.

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 :))
Anna
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
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
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. I highly recommend it for all who want to up their improv game.
Carolyn
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!

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
Amazing improv community with fab teachers who run brilliant classes and put on inspiring 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’ve been lucky enough to take classes with Heather, Jules, and Joe (both online and IRL). Absolutely fantastic. ❤️❤️❤️
Jen
A wonderful week of musical improv with Heather. Highly recommended. An outstanding coach.
Rachel
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.

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

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.

Fantastic improv company!

Improv is a great way to meet people, gain confidence and have fun. However, it can be intimidating to attend a class for the first time. Brighton-based AndAlso Improv is one of the best places to start your improv journey.... read more The teachers are friendly and supportive, making sure everyone feels welcome and included. They've got your back while you are finding your feet. They are also willing and they’ll gently push you when you are ready to grow. Improv has changed my life, I'd encourage you to let it change yours too.

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.
