Sorry folks, there’s no improv drop-in this week. (longer explanation: we’ve had the opportunity to do workshops with the great Mike McShane, which have now sold out. Sorry!)

Improv Drop-In: Thursday 4 April 2019

This week’s drop-in: Let’s Monologue  Brought to you by Richard. “Alas, poor Yorick…” sure, that’s more of a soliloquy, but you get the idea. We use monologues in improv as the inspiration for different kinds of improv show, from the very brief personal glimpses at the beginning of the Smash

Improv Drop-In: Thursday 28 March 2019

This week’s drop-in: Specific/Explicit  Brought to you by Ben. Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: Two improvisers get up on stage. They spend the first half of the scene interacting with what might be a relationship or a premise, and it’s clear nobody really knows what’s going on!

Improv Drop-In: Thursday 7 March 2019

This week’s drop-in: Finding a Tree in a Wood  Brought to you by Jack. Sometimes we get suggestions that are generic or don’t pique our interest enough to get our comedy flowing. This week’s workshop is about generating ideas as a group before scenes begin, to help us find that

Hi There!

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. If you’d like to help us keep these activities going and keep our lights on we’d be immensely grateful. Together, we can get through this.
