Join London's premier hip-hop improv crew for an unforgettable night where your destiny unfolds live on stage. Be part of an experience where freestyle meets foresight. Don't miss this unique blend of music, comedy, and spontaneous storytelling!

This fun, three-hour morning workshop is designed to introduce performers to the basics of freestyle rapping and beatboxing, helping them find their flow, work with a beat, and construct verses that enhance improvised scenes. Participants will learn hip hop fundamentals and how to initiate raps within improvisations, weaving their characters and scenes into on-the-spot creations. Whether experienced or brand new to hip hop, all are welcome to join us in Bristol.

As part of the Little Improv Festival you can join us for a taster session to give improv a go!

Up The Antics bring a fully improvised festival edition of their hit comedy variety night to the Little Improv Festival. Featuring all-star long form team The Muses with an off-the-cuff stand-up set, and the signature Antics chaos - this is one you won’t want to miss!

Improv is a co-creative art-form and not an individual sport - that can be hard to remember in scenes and on stage though! The sense of magic when two or more people are improvising in a connected way is totally enthralling to watch.
Expect slow-burn connected improv with a side-helping of possible ego-loss (in a good way!)
