The Improvised Comedy Group

Are you ready to level-up your improv?
When you’ve got a solid grounding in the core skills of improv, this level will help you finesse your skills, work on more advanced concepts and work on making you a more adaptable improviser.
This course is for improvisers with some experience and therefore you will need to apply to join. At minimum you will have been part of our “Making It Up: Core Skills” for at least one term. If you have significant improv experience elsewhere you may also apply.
To apply, you will need to send us details of your improv experience so far, and anything you might like to achieve from our Advanced Skills programme, you can do that here. Then when applications have been reviewed if the advanced group is suitable for you, you will be able to book over the phone with Box Office on 0115 941 9419.
By applying you accept that we only have a limited number of places and will make decisions based on what we think will create the best experience for you and the group as a whole. If we are unable to accommodate you in the Advanced Skills group this term, we recommend booking on the Core Skills group which varies in content every term.
