Class description

Want to try improv? Meet new people? Have a ton of fun and laughs? While also learning some amazing and valuable communication and teamwork skills? Then join us for our Intro to Improv Workshop!

It's a perfect 'taster' session for anyone who wants to try improv comedy or just something new and different in a fun and supportive environment.

So what is Improv?

Improv is a set of skills that you develop over time which improve your every social, business and personal relationship – or as some people call it: 'your life'. It helps you develop the parts of your brain that make you more receptive and responsive to others. It also makes you more confident and creative-thinking, and taps into your sense of humour and your ability to be funny – and you are funny, trust us.

Our Intro to Improv Workshop is for complete beginners and will focus on basic exercises and introduce you to the fundamental skills. Sessions are led by an experienced ICC teacher and are a brief glimpse into the core values of the ICC Training Centre. It's a great way to sample what we teach and who we are!

A few common questions

Why is it free? We offer you this free class to see if Improv is for you. Should you like the experience then you will have the opportunity to sign up to a 8 week course. See available dates further down on the class page.

Do I need any experience? No. The workshop is designed for complete beginners, so no acting or improv knowledge is needed.

How old do I need to be? 18 or older. There's no upper limit — our students span every age group, and we also run dedicated 60+ courses.

What if English isn't my first language? No problem. Even though our classes are in English, for most of our students it’s their second language. Improv is about listening and reacting - not vocabulary. It’s definitely not a language competition!

Is it physical? There's movement and interaction with others, but you don't need to be athletic. If you have any accessibility needs, email icc@improvcomedy.eu before you book and we'll sort it out with you.

Teachers

Kate Driscoll

Kate Driscoll is an experienced improviser who got her start through the ICC theatre. Kate made her first pun at age 3, and people have been trying to get her to stop ever since. She also narrates much of her life through silly songs, which former roommates have called “barely tolerable” and “kind of unnecessary”, but that hasn't stopped her from performing musical improv regularly with her ICC team Killer Tunes. Kate took an intro to improv class because a viral hit from 1999 told her to do one thing a day that scares her. But rather than being scared, she found a warm and supportive community, where she could be her most wonderfully silly self, and she strives give others that same experience through her teaching.
