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.

FRIDAY 29th MAY

STUDENT GRADUATION SHOW

WHERE: Northern Monk Refectory, 10 Tariff Street, Manchester, M1 2FF

SHOW STARTS:7.30PM // £10

It's Graduation Time! We're celebrating the work of our Level Three and Level Four students with the time honoured tradition of making them perform shows immediately in front of your amazed faces!

It's the Harold's of Level Three Vs. The Armando of Level Four. Two improv classes enter, one improv class leaves - then another improv class leaves. Then both of them go to the bar and probably come back together. 

Either way, it'll be a night of big, dumb, fun and we're raising money for charity while we're doing it. 

Saturday 16TH May
