Online Improv Courses

Where to start

If you’re an absolute beginner why not dip your toes in at an online drop in class? All our general drop-ins are open to all abilities, but if you are nervous about the tech of an online class or about improv then our Thursday 7.30pm class is perfect for you!

If you’re more experienced, with a couple of courses under your belt you’d be able to start on any specialist courses that take your fancy, just email us if you’re not sure which is best for you.
