This week’s drop-in: You Can, And You Will, Handle the Truth Brought to you by Liam. The truth is something we see pummelled, beaten and destroyed every day. The least we can do is fight back through improv. This week we’ll be working on listening and responding truthfully and faithfully to
This week’s drop-in: The Name of the Game The jam is brought to you by Parky. “I think I can see in your face There’s a lot you can teach me So I wanna know, what’s the name of the game?” Every four weeks, we turn up at Gorilla Burger
Merry Christmas one and all! We are all closed up for the festive season, so there is no jam tonight (22nd December) or 29th December. We return, to smash 2017 together on Thursday 5th January. See you all there, and try not to get too fucked up in the meantime.
This week’s jam: Go Big The jam is brought to you by Nick. There are lots of things I forget when I’m in a scene and only remember when I watch someone else and mentally kick myself. One of those (there are many) is to go in with a big choice
This week’s jam: The Gift of Giving The jam is brought to you by Parky. There is one key aim of improv that sometimes we tend to forget: “Your job in a scene is not to look good: it is to make your scene partner look good.” The easiest way
This week’s jam: To The Max The jam is brought to you by Nick. Everything is better pushed to extremes, food, sport, gnomes. It makes sense that improv will also be even better if we take it to the max. An evening of demanding just a little bit more from each
This week’s jam: Scene Work Playtime The jam is brought to you by Lloydie. Tonight, we’re focussing on having fun on stage and proudly showing off our improv chops (facial fur not essential). Whether you’ve never been before, or have been doing Thursdays for years, this is a chance to play together and
This week’s jam: Inspiration for Character This week’s jam is brought to you by Parky. The suggestion that you receive at the beginning of a scene is designed as inspiration, not direction. The idea is that your brain is sparked into life by that word, and that you use it
This week’s jam: Unusual and Voice of Reason This week’s jam is brought to you by Lloydie. In improv, sometimes unusual behaviours by one character need to be countered by another player being the “voice of reason”. The latter is usually pointing out to the audience that something in the scene
This week’s jam: Tip Top This week’s jam is brought to you by Ben. This week’s jam is all about nailing the first few seconds of your scene, getting the nitty gritty details down so you can just play. We will be looking at fast ways of establishing context and character so
This week’s jam: Endowment Does Matter This week’s jam is brought to you by Lloydie. I love getting gifts. It’s so nice to know that someone thought about you. I love giving gifts even more. Call me weird (you just did didn’t you?) but I like being able to give someone something
This week’s jam: Just Somebody That I Used to Know This week’s jam is brought to you by Ben. One of the most enjoyable things in improv is being able to be anyone you have ever wanted to be and anyone you’ve never wanted to be. Through improv you can be Wonder
