COMEDY IMPROV TRAINING

We are Improv North! We run comedy improv classes and shows in Manchester.

We’re delighted to be bringing our 30 years+ of being professional Silly People™ to the North West, to teach folks the joyful art of improv.

So, what is improv?

Great question. Improv is "making stuff up". We specialise in improvised comedy - which is the art of making stuff up and having people laugh about it. It's a subtle, but important, difference.

Okay, but how can I do this?

We offer weekly classes for all levels of improv experience; from folks who know their Harolds from their Canadian Crosses, to those who have no performance experience at all. All you need is curiosity, a few hours a week, and maybe some snacks.

Interested but not sure about jumping in to a full course? We run taster classes - a 2 hour intro for those who want to test the water before they commit. Think of it as us auditioning for you.
