We were delighted to host the very first Greater Manchester Improv Festival 6th-8th June 2025! Three days of shows, workshops and laughter at The Kings Arms, Salford, showcasing some of the best in improv comedy and theatre from Greater Manchester and beyond...
Over the festival there were sixteen shows spread across two spaces covering a broad range of styles and formats. As well as shows there were four workshops with something for all levels of experience. We are thrilled that several shows and classes sold out. Audiences who might come for one show embraced the festival and said "Yes, And... we'll stay for more shows!" so of course we had to say "Yes, And... we'll do it all again next year!"
A really savvy festival would already have dates in place for 2026 but we honestly weren't sure how this first festival was going to go! Make sure you're signed up to our mailing list for when dates are announced...
Here is the 2025 programme to give you a taste of the fantastic shows and workshops we enjoyed at the first Greater Manchester Improv Festival:
