All levels of improv experience are encouraged to join this weekly drop-in improv class. Walk ins are welcome!
About this Event

This drop-in class aims to allow members of the improv community to get practice time with a variety of other members, with or without improv experience. The goal is to strengthen the community, increase improv ‘reps’, and provide a safe space for exploration.
At The Nova Comedy Collective, this is a LAUNCH CLASS - meaning it's the perfect place to start your journey, and absolutely no prior experience is necessary!


Improv Gym is more fun with a plus-one!
Bring a friend, co-worker, or curious stranger—the more, the merrier. It’s a great way to try something new together (and maybe laugh a little too hard in the process).
