Intro to Improv – This Is Where You Start

Maybe you’ve always wanted to try improv. Maybe someone told you you were funny once and it stuck. Or maybe you’re just looking for something new, something ridiculous, creative, low-stakes, and wildly fun.

This is where you start.

No experience? Perfect. Nervous? Good. That means you care.

We’ll teach you the fundamentals of yes, and, listening, trust, commitment, and how to bail out of a scene with grace and zero dignity. By the end, you’ll be performing onstage in a showcase with a bunch of people who were strangers six weeks ago and are now your weird little comedy family.

No experience required.

BTC Improv Is Now Defiance Improv

A few years ago, we started BTC Improv to teach a few classes and maybe do a show or two. It grew. So now we’re claiming it.

BTC Improv is now Defiance Improv—still us, still weird, still wildly committed to making you funnier. Just with a name that matches the rest of the brand.
