Can I just reproduce for you Alison’s information for her Improv classes. She’s massively experienced as an Improv, as a teacher, and as a creative practioner. Take a chance [and I’ll cheer you from my safe seat in the stalls !!]
Dear Friends,
I hope these classes might appeal to you, or to some people you know. We guarantee a quality experience! Hope all’s well in your yard,

ICE – Improv Comedy East
Comedy Improv classes in Hackney – Open to All
Come join us, make your own fun and explore comedy improvisation, for art and for life!
These weekly classes use a wide range of games and exercises and cover: brainstorming, storytelling, creating characters, status-play, comedy-business, how to fail happily and trusting yourself. They’re designed to stimulate creativity by helping you to unlock the contents of your vast and fertile imagination (you have one, we promise). Whether you use the lessons for specific areas like writing or performing, or simply to enhance your spontaneity, these sessions will give you new skills, and motivate your mind and body. Oh, and you’ll laugh and laugh until you fall over. This is one of the best improv classes you’ll ever do. And it’ll make you rich, give you a six-pack and attract the lover of your dreams.*
N.B. Not for people of a miserable disposition.
