Comic Sans Script is Cheltenham's biggest improvised comedy group, free and open to all, regardless of ability. We have regular open (and advanced) workshops, practising making up scenes and characters on-the-spot from suggested words, to create scenes and play games in the style of 'Whose Line Is It Anyway?'.

We do also perform locally, and are veterans of Cheltenham, Birmingham and Bath Comedy Festivals. We'd love to have you pop along!

We operate three types of events:

1. Our FREE Wednesday beginners workshops. These operate on an 'intake cycle' basis, where you can join other beginners at the same time once a quarter, to learn basic improv skills and games over the following six weeks. Please try to attend all the sessions to make sure you get a solid grounding.

2. Regular workshops on Mondays and Wenesday for 'full members' (those who've completed our Beginners Workshop). On Mondays we rehearse 'longform improv' and on Wednesdays 'shortform improv'. We ask for a voluntary £3 per session to cover costs, and you can attend as you please, however we may request a certain regularity of attendee if we're covering a particular format for a few weeks.

3. Regular shows. We operate our 'main', quarterly(ish) paid show (performers subject to audition), and offer a 'supported show' format for everyone else who has completed a four-week intake cycle with us, where you can perform, supported by more experience improvisers. We also do ad-hoc gigs as requested at festivals and events.

4. We also began and host Cheltenham Improjam - an open-to-all shortform improv games jam that takes place on the first Sunday of every month: see https://www.facebook.com/CheltenhamImprojam... for details.
