Our improv comedy curriculum

Over the years we've developed a comprehensive curriculum that offers fun and challenge for everyone. Our various tracks group classes by experience level and desired learning outcomes.

If you're brand new to improv, or you're new to our theatre in particular, we recommend starting with our Free Trial Class or our Improv Starter Track.

Once you've been involved for six months or so, it's time to specialise!

Upon completion of the starter track you are guaranteed access to our Hobby Track, and will gain access to our Performance Track if your instructor recommends it.

Finally, our Advanced Play courses are available to those who have passed the performance track and are ready for our biggest challenges.
