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.
​​
But, 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.
​
Okay, 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 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.
