Musical Improv Comedy<\/p><\/div>\n

Musical Improv Comedy<\/a> is the name of the website and project set up by myself and Heather Urquhart of The Maydays<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We specialise in taking groups of people with no experience or particular ability and allowing them to be spontaneous and creative. \u00a0Creating songs in the moment truly focuses the mind on the present moment, the people around you and your own resourcefulness. \u00a0We facilitate groups to be non-judgmental and supportive to allow each individual to step gently outside their comfort zone. \u00a0<\/span>We provide workshops to eveyone from complete beginners, established improv troupes and businesses.<\/p>\n

Sing it – a book about musical improv comedy<\/p><\/div>\n

Sing it is the title of our first book (we have three planned) about how to rehearse and perform musical improv comedy. \u00a0It is packed full of exercises, tips and musical techniques both for singers and musicians. \u00a0It is available directly through our website here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We also have a large collection of podcasts and interviews with the illustrious figures in the world of musical improv comedy including Showstoppers<\/a> and The Comedy Store Players<\/a>. \u00a0You can listen to our podcasts here<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Experiments<\/span><\/h2>\n

We love to enable bizarre and creative musical improv events. \u00a0Our favourites include improvised singing in the dark, ‘The Happening’ – an improvised beat poetry event with music, and our ‘Pianong’ – an experiment with 7 people who had never played a piano improvising on 7 pianos! \u00a0Check out the audio and video here or visit our podcasts<\/a> page.<\/p>\n\n\t
