What is improvised comedy?

Improvised Comedy or “Improv” is a type of theatre in which players devise comedic characters, dialogue and action on the spot without a pre-written script.

You might have seen examples live or in TV shows like “Whose Line is it Anyway?” and “Mock the Week”.

As well as being great fun, practicing and performing Improv is excellent at developing skills in: acting and performance; public speaking and confidence; communication and teamwork; and problem solving skills.

You don’t have to be funny or think of yourself as a comedian to do improv comedy. Funny situations naturally arise by applying simple techniques while supporting your fellow players. If you focus on performing strong scenes, you’ll “find the funny” effortlessly.

Improv comes from a theatrical tradition, so it doesn’t have the same expectations of dealing with hecklers that might seem slightly intimidating about stand-up comedy. Improvisers come from all kinds of performance backgrounds and none!
