I get asked pretty often about drop-in workshops and other places to practice improv regularly, so I thought I’d put our recommendations together into a blog. If you can’t commit to a longer course, the classic drop-in workshop is a good flexible alternative.<\/p>\n

These tend to be for people who have already done some improv but want to practice on a flexible basis.<\/p>\n

Here our recommendations, totally biased with our first two choices obviously!<\/p>\n

Hoopla Things<\/b><\/h4>\n

Hoopla Mondays:<\/a> These are the closest we have to a drop-in, it usually books up about a week in advance. Different theme each Monday, 7pm at Theatre Delicatessen in Farringdon. Tends to people with a bit of experience, who’ve just started impro the last year or so and want to get some practice in.<\/p>\n

Hoopla Saturdays:<\/a> Similar to our Monday workshops but lasting the whole day. Also usually books up about a week in advance, gets all levels of experience coming along.<\/p>\n

Other Ones we Recommend<\/b><\/h4>\n

The Maydays: They do a weekly Thursday drop-in in Brighton (where I first learnt impro) and also a weekly Saturday in London which I’ve also heard is excellent.<\/p>\n

The Nursery: Lots of regular workshops including drop ins.<\/p>\n

Shoot from The Hip: Run a weekly impro drop in, they are an excellent show so great to learn from.<\/p>\n

Do Not Adjust Your Stage: They’ve also started running a regular drop-in workshop, also great performers so good people to practice with.<\/p>\n

C3Something: They are running loads of workshops now including regular drop-ins and also international guests.<\/p>\n

The Actors’ Centre: They run some great impro sessions that are usually bookable on the day.<\/p>\n

We Want Information: weekly impro drop in.<\/p>\n

The Cockpit Theatre: They run Meisner Technique drop-ins.<\/p>\n

The Actor’s Temple: Also run Meisner Technique drop-ins.\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n

Foreign Affairs: Also run Meisner Technique drop-ins. <\/i><\/p>\n

Duck Duck Goose: A show\/jam rather than a workshop but is becoming one of the most popular places is London for new improvisers to build up experience.<\/p>\n

The Crunchy Frog Collective:<\/a> Nice website that lists loads of improv happening around the UK.<\/p>\n

There are loads of other improv courses and classes in London but I think that’s the main drop-in style ones around at the moment, let me know if I’ve missed anything please I’ll be happy to add them on.\u00a0<\/i> <\/i><\/p>\n
