What's an improv class?
An improv class is a low-pressure, introductory step into the world of improvised theater and comedy. You'll learn the basic concepts of thinking on your feet, creating live comedy, and turning your funny ideas into fun on-stage moments.
Why should I take one?
If you're looking to get better at thinking on your feet, finding ways to better collaborate with a team, or looking to become an on-stage performer, improv may be for you!
Do I need experience?
No experience needed! Dive into improv with our friendly Improv 101 or 101/201 class. If you're already an improv pro, check out our other classes (or give us a shout) to discover your perfect fit.

"I started taking classes at Kismet in April 2023. Quickly, I found a supportive, inclusive and kind community who were eager to share their knowledge and skills. I’ve learned so much and met many wonderful people who I can now proudly call my friends and mentors. I highly recommend Kismet Improv to anyone interested in comedy. "
