Grand Theft Impro Theatre & Performing Arts


Join the UK's top comedy improvisers for an evening of sketches and songs, all made up on the spot from audience suggestions.


Impro veterans Phil Whelans, Dylan Emery and Charlotte Gittins gather every week for a one of the funniest short-form impro shows in the capital.

Every week they have high-profile guests from the UK and around the world - always worth dropping in!
Previous guests include: Phill Jupitus, Marcus Brigstocke, Josie Lawrence, Lee Simpson, Mike McShane, Steve Frost, Pippa Evans and Ruth Bratt.

"Simply Marvellous" TimeOut Recommended show.
"A unique brand of extreme theatre, GTI are always entertaining" Daily Mirror.
"GTI are at the forefront of the revival of impro in the UK" The Guardian.
"The guys are great, enthusiastic, musical and most importantly funny." Remote Goat.
