About us

Stuart Young

Founder and Director

Stuart is an improv coach with more than a decade of experience. Prior to moving to Middlesbrough and establishing Say Something in 2022, he was the artistic director of Prague’s Script for Brains company. He’s also been an instructor at Cheltenham’s Comic Sans Script, as well as a founding member (showing his age here…) of The University of York’s The Shambles.

Stuart is dedicated to creating a welcoming and inclusive environment for participants to learn improv, hone their performance skills, and above all; just have fun! He believes that improv is a learned skill like times tables or riding a bike. You might be nervous or you might be a natural, but with the right support, everyone can become skilled in improv comedy. Stuart now lives in Edinburgh but is still an active member of the group, especially when it is time to do our taxes.
