How do you bring the comedy in improv without completely destroying the scene? Do you need go-to lines or quips to make side splittingly hilarious moments? Spoiler alert! The answer is NO! In this workshop we'll practise ways of leaning into the funny in a sincere, spontaneous and emotional way. There's a silly goofball inside you - quick let them out!

All-Female Improv Comedy Workshop at MissImp

This is the sixteenth all-female improv workshop put on by MissImp!

These events are made possible with support from Nottingham Women's Centre and this is the final one in the series from this run of funding.

These workshops are led by some of the most exciting female improvisers from our Nottingham community and beyond, and will focus on a specific area of improvisation unique to them!

Improv is the art of making up theatre and comedy on the spot, without any scripts or pre-planning. This workshop is for any female-identifying or non-binary individuals who feel they would benefit from or like to experience an all-female classroom environment. This is a safe space to try out new skills and support other women within our improv community!

Please note: Our definition of 'women' and 'female' is inclusive, and we welcome trans women, genderqueer women, and non-binary people.

Please be aware that there are strictly no refunds for this event and that it is the ticket holders responsibility to resell the ticket if they are unable to attend.

This workshop will be taking place downstairs at the Malt Cross, which is accessible by either the lift or stairs.
