This week is a very special musical drop-in led by Sam Marshall and Jack from Rhymes Against Humanity. The best improv happens when we feel vulnerable, and simultaneously have an absolute mega-ton of support from the other players working with us. Musical improv can seem like wizardry and make us
Throw a ball into a group of young children and they will kick it, throw it and bounce it without hesitation. Throw a ball into a group of adults and they will look to you for instruction or permission. Have they forgotten how to play? No! Of course not! Play
Heads up – we’re back at the Malt Cross! Guessing games in improv are a tale as old as time – from Party Quirks to Let’s Make A Date guessing games were made famous on Whose Line Is It Anyway? and were an improv staple for many years. But they
Roll up, roll up, it’s time to get your improv action on! Welcome to our monthly “half drop-in, half show”, sticking you on a mini stage with everyone else, being loud and having fun doing improv stuff. The main difference from a weekly drop-in? It lasts longer, and you can
Heads up – we’re back at the Malt Cross! Like the life of the person who walks on four legs in morning, two legs at noon and three legs in the evening, our improv scenes have different phases. By being aware of these different phases and applying relevant skills at
In any given improv scene improvisers will often stand about a few metres apart. They could be a couple who are in the first throws of passion, best friends consoling each other after a bereavement or a parent playing with their child, the one-two metre rule applies and it looks

Whether you’re completely new to improv or you’ve been doing it for years, it’s always useful to spend some time working on those key ingredients that make for good performance. This week we’ll be focusing on listening, building on ideas, and not trying to be funny. Here’s an entirely unrelated
We’ve all been there – trying to be interesting when, whoops, you’re in the corporate rat race. In improv, it’s really easy to define everything in a scene with the words “thanks for coming, take a seat”. But then, there’s a little voice in your head that whispers, “whelp, I
This week we’re going to spend some time looking after ourselves. Often we worry so much about supporting our partner on stage that we forget to take some time to enjoy ourselves and have our own deal. This workshop will give you the chance to make some more “selfish” choices
BIG NOTE: we’re at Broadway Cinema throughout May & June! This week’s drop-in: Embracing the Silly Brought to you by Guy. In life, as well as in improv, its all too easy to take ourselves too seriously; I know I do. This drop-in is about learning how stop taking ourselves
During the coronavirus outbreak, MissImp has continued to offer entirely free online activities for our community, including commissioning an ongoing series of paid virtual drop-ins from improvisers around the world, fortnightly online Gorilla Burger shows and more.
