We love to share the love of improv!
Participating in improv theatre is a chance to be creative, to be present in the moment, to embrace failure, to work in a team, to grow your self confidence and so much more 😍 It can also be SUPER confusing or expensive to know how to try it out!
That’s why on the last Saturday of every month we host an open improv workshop! It’s our way of contributing to the improv community and of putting out some positive vibes into the universe ✨
-2 hour improv workshop
-once a month on the last Saturday of the month
-all experience levels are welcome!
-there is no requirement to pay, but if you are able to contribute a koha towards venue hire we appreciate it
-usually in Auckland cbd
-time and venue can occasionally change due to venue availability so be sure to check on Meetup or Facebook (or send us a DM) to double check!
We’ll see you at our next workshop on Sat 26 July 🥳

The last Saturday of every month is our open improv workshop!
With a rotating cast of tutors from Improverished, each month is a beginner-friendly, super joyful and social chance to try improv for the first time or to just have a play and do some improv in a low-stress environment 😍
〰️Koha is appreciated to help us cover costs
〰️The last Saturday of every month (except April 2026 bc of public holidays!)
〰️Basement Theatre Makers Space in Auckland CBD
〰️Times vary each month!
See you there! 🥳
