Welcome to Improvisation in Edinburgh
From humble beginnings in 2009, when two American improvisers arrived in Edinburgh to find no improv scene, TBC Improv has become one of the leading improvisational theatre companies in Scotland's vibrant improv comedy scene. Whether it's performing at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe with the 5-time sell-out show Absolute Improv!, hosting improv comedy performances for groups to showcase their talents, or training the next generation of improv performers with year round courses, our goal has and always will be the same: to perform, teach and share the improv comedy art-form we love so much!
our mission statement:
perform | teach | share | cultivate
the improvised comedy artform and community we love with everyone
