Jams

An open to everyone improv jam with a playful mix of games, scenes and long-form. Open to anyone to sign up in advance and then come along and perform, like a mix between a workshop and a show.

We start with a warm up to help everyone get to know each other and then move on to a variety of fun games, scenes and show formats over the jam. This is a great place to build up performing experience and meet other people from Hoopla courses. We also now have some additional dates as a Jam Sandwich, with jam plus guest groups mixed in to help different performers play together.

Due to limited venue capacity and to enable people to get enough stage time it is essential to sign up in advance to participate. Please only sign up if you can definitely do the date, as not turning up removes opportunities from other performers. Sign up is on our improv shows page before the jam.

Please note you will need to be there for the warm up if you’d like to be in the jam. If you miss the warm up you won’t be able to take part in the jam but you will still be welcome to stay and watch.

You are also welcome to sign up as an audience member if you’d like to watch but not perform.

Level of experience: This is best suited to people who have done our Level 2 course or above. If you are totally new to improv we recommend starting with our Beginners Improv Course instead.
