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.

Inspiring teachers and well-balanced workshops! Watching Heather in action is a true delight—whether she's leading a workshop or performing on stage.

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:)

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.

Brilliant classes, courses & retreats superbly taught in a super fun & supportive environment. Highly recommended!

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.

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.

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.

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 :))

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Really fun and friendly classes with outstanding teaching

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 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.
