Johanna Stirling

Two of Jo's passions are teaching and improv, so teaching improv is definitely her thing! She knows people learn best when treated with kindness, understanding and respect and are supported to be that teeny bit braver. Jo has been super-enthusiastic about improv since a Dogface Improv workshop in 2018. She has attended countless drop-ins, courses, and guest workshops with Dogface, Jules Munns (And Also), The Free Association and many other wonderful improv coaches. She performs with several local troupes such as Ooh! Improv, Stirling & Knock, the Randomologists, and The Brontës Saw Us.
