Be just like Tina Fey, Amy Poehler or Will Ferrell... or even Brits such as Eddie Izzard, Paul Merton and Sarah Pascoe. In this three day group, Spontaneous Theatre Company run their Youth group to offer new participants a chance to discover their inner-comedian, or outer-actor. From Wednesday 27th July at 10am, these young people will meet and collaborate on their comedy to be able to create for a live audience, spontaneously.

Spontaneous Youth are an improv comedy youth group that is run by the theatre company that helps the young people of today, potentially that is you, be more spontaneous, leading you to greater aptitude in many areas of life; increasing social, emotional intelligence and building self-worth and opinion to be able to access the height of your comedic self. This three-day course, from 27th - 29th July 10am until 5pm, will be just like the training of Steve Carrell, Kristen Wiig and Stephen Colbert. Also, Brits such as Luisa Omielan, Rob Brydon and Phil Jupitus experiences too.

We advocate improvisation for everyone. Whether the interest is in comedy, acting or something highly unrelated, these will bring people together to offer useful skills in all areas of life. The group will explore spontaneity and how you can apply these skills to create comedy on the spot. Our discoveries will search how we use fun to enhance performance. It could be said to be obvious that this would be engaging to see and definitely energizing for the performers. Playfulness gets people to play well together: collaboration is a ever-growing need in society. Therefore, we cover basic elements of improvisation such as listening, agreement and adding, commitment and support and various others. Improv comedy is an open art form, we seek freedom and honesty in our comedy!
