Intro to Long Form Improv

Monday 1st June to Monday 6th July 2026 in Norwich

6 week evening course - Monday evenings, 19:30 to 21:30

Book Tickets

On this course you will be introduced to the wonders of long form improv. Using scenes and forms in place of the games of short form, long form improv is built for creating funny, moving and interesting work. You'll explore a range of techniques and styles of long form, culminating in an optional graduation show at the end of the course.

This course is for anyone that has covered the improv fundamentals - e.g. completed our Level 1 course of equivalent with another improv school.

We have a minimum of 6 students required to run the course - if we have low numbers, we will be in touch in the week leading up to the first lesson to let you know that we may have to postpone the course - but this hardly ever happens!
