Impro Melbourne

The best improv classes I've ever taken, hosted by a warm and intelligent group of beautiful humans. I would recommend this school to anyone, introvert or extrovert. It's a breath of fresh air and may just change your life...

Great place to go see some fantastic impro and an even better place to learn how to do it yourself. The teachers and the courses are fabulous, and even if you never intend to step out on stage in public, the skills you learn will instantly improve your life

The workshops have been so much fun, with lots of skills I can use in navigating conversations and relationships in work or other areas of life. The teachers and students have all been lovely too!

I did the spontaneity course and it was fantastic. Fun, energetic, safe environment. Able to be myself, discover my inner confidence with receiving compliments and so much more. A must do course. I'm already signed up for the next one in July.

It was early 2021 and after finally coming out of the long lockdown I was eager for human interaction. I found the free Impro workshop and (because I love free things) knew that it would be a great experiment. I wasn't expecting to have so much fun! I immediately signed up for a term of Spontaneity and am still doing Impro workshops now, over a year later. The instructors are all incredible and so passionate about Impro, I've made some amazing friends and it's the highlight of my week! I definitely recommend to anyone who enjoys a good time :)

Awesome for shows, and for learning improvised theatre. The most experienced teachers with a real focus on making sure everyone in the room is comfortable.

So pleased to hear that the Impro Melbourne gang are back performing, if you haven’t been it’s an absolute must, the most entertaining night out and it doesn’t break the bank! Every time I’m in Melbourne I go if they’re performing. I’ve also done one of their classes series during lockdown - it was fabulous!

Having done classes at a few different schools, Impro Melbourne and their teachers have done a really great job in creating a warm, welcoming environment that's full of positive energy. It's one of the reasons I keep going back to do classes here, as this supportive environment helps to quickly dispel any nerves or anxiety that comes with starting or trying something new

I've been doing their courses and watching the shows for about 3 years now. The courses have been great for self-confidence, embracing the silly and interacting with others. The shows are so much fun, especially the singing ones! Laughing every week with like-minded people is THE best antidote.

I watched Wild Card at the Impro Melbourne’s Comedy Festival show and I thought the show was fantastic! It was super funny and I was so impressed with the performers. Absolutely amazing how quickly they can come up with dialogue that's also engaging! Great show and definitely recommend!

I've taken classes with Impro Melbourne and also gone to see a lot of their shows in Prahran. I'm never disapointed! The classes are so fun and I've made many new friends there. The shows are a great value and so much better than other weekend activities like watching a movie. Plus, it makes me feel good to know I'm supporting local artists!

The trainers are gifted at drawing out the best in people and setting up all performers for success in a fun, encouraging and flexible manner, working to people's strengths. My fellow performers/participants are just as playful and supportive, creating a wonderful environment to step out of your comfort zone and develop your skills and confidence as a communicator in ways that positively impacts all areas of life! Love it! Thank you!!

Brilliant range of workshops and courses, diverse and experienced performer teachers and a variety of clever shows and programs.

Excellent teaching for skills that transcend performing. The Spontaneity course was exactly what I needed post-lockdown. It was fun, safe, social and therapeutic. Thanks, Impro Melbourne, for helping me be present and express my authentic self. xo

I took the Spontaneity course with Katherine and the Songprov course with Tim. Both teachers encouraged a friendly, positive, inclusive, and challenging environment in class. I would definitely recommend Impro Melbourne to people looking to get into improvisation!

The classes were such a great experience, helping me in my public presentations, writing, and conversation in general. I also love seeing the impro Melbourne shows and in fact am writing this review at a show right now!!!

The teachers are highly experienced and knowledgeable, and create a safe and supportive environment to learn how to improvise, be creative, and take risks. Their classes are varied and have a great progression from beginner courses to more advanced techniques.

They are great. Got me sister a couple of tickets to see one of their shows. "I'm only staying till interval, to tired. " she said. 9.30pm the show finished and out walked my sister. The classes are at the other end of The David Williams theater. They are held downstairs in the downstairs theatre. You walk up St John street from Chapel street and go down the stairs on your right.

If you’re wanting to improve your spontaneity, creativity, storytelling, theatre making skills (or all of these), check out the improv classes here - they offer classes both in person and online. Lovely staff, students and tribe to add some laughter and joy in life 😃

Awesome place to appreciate incredible improvisation talent from the actors and enjoy unique stories that I wish I could watch more than once.
