Meet, Play, Laugh! Improv Comedy Workshop

Would you like to meet new people, play silly games together and laugh?

Why not come along and try Improvised Comedy and Theatre, aka Improv?

Ages 18-80. No experience required. Beginner's encouraged!

An Improv workshop mainly consists of playing with other adults by taking part in group games, making up stories, and/or playing silly characters.

Improv is a type of theatre and comedy but no one is expected to perform or be funny in this workshop.

Meet

Meet lots of other silly people and get to know them.

Play

The core of improv is about spontaneity, openness, imagination, and silliness, just like playtime was as a child.

Laugh

As the core of Improv is to make things up it is inherently funny. You don't even need to try to be funny. In fact it's best if you don't! You just will be funny.

The workshop

We'll explore all the basics of improv, how to play, how to fail, and how to be spontaneous through short games, longer scenework, partner work and more.

Your host

My name is Paul and I've been improvising since 2019. I've trained with Hoopla Impro and The Maydays in London, Awkward Actor's in Oxford and I've performed in a number of groups and even produced my own improv show called The Temporal Talk Show.

Quotes from previous participants:

"This workshop has really helped me to develop my confidence and helped me with social interactions. I have learned a lot and feel more comfortable in myself. I spend the whole session laughing and having fun!"

"I was nervous attending improv at first and nearly did not go into the venue . I am so glad I did. The workshop was safe, supportive and fun. I learnt a lot, built confidence and met some lovely people."

"If anyone who loves improv wants to actually give it a go then South Wales Improv and the workshops included are absolutely the place you need to go to. I've never laughed so much in all my life during a workshop!"
