QI: Queer Improv Workshop and Show

QI: Queer Improv and Hoopla Impro present a free open workshop and show for any improviser who identifies as LGBTQ+. The first hour (7-8pm) is a workshop open to all with no audience, then there's a public show from 8pm. The show is a mix of folks who did the workshop getting up on stage, and QI veterans performing a set.

If you'd like to take part in the workshop, the room will be open from 645; please don't be late as we'll start with a check-in!

Guest Groups:

on the 15th we are joined by the Riot Actors as well as Biff!

Riot Actors

London's newest queer improv team, bringing fast-paced laughs and hot takes galore to a stage near you!

Biff is a fast paced improvised sketch show combines slick precision, playful free creativity, and true acting commitment - and has been performed around London to rave reviews. We overshare with the audience and one another in a fun, conversational opening before diving into a heightened world of sketch where everyone gets their hands so, so very dirty. The cast is comprised of FA, Hoopla, and City Academy house team alumni, equity actors, improv teachers, and stand-up comedians, all of whom are unafraid to swing big and biff it.

Accessibility: there is a staircase up to the venue, but Hoopla have a stair climber machine which can help those who need up the stairs. The loos are gendered male/female, but we are happy to find a loo buddy for anyone who would feel more comfortable going with a friend. There are two steps (or a ramp) up to the stage, and standard stage lighting/music. We'll avoid big flashes of light or sharp bursts of music, and pls feel free to touch base about any needs.
