The first Greater Manchester Improv Festival was a great success. 16 shows across the weekend with full rooms, entertained audiences and a brilliant community of improvisers coming together to share and perform.
Big thanks to Bron and Sean, and all the other improvisers who volunteered their time. The Kings Arms in Salford was a perfect venue too, with its theatre and studio spaces perfect for both big and intimate shows. 2026 has been confirmed, so see you next year!
There's so much good improv happening in Manchester, it really does have it's own improv scene. It's also great to the work my pals at The Totally Improvised Comedy have done to get some of the amazing groups together for a weekend of shows.
All the shows are taking place at the lovely Kings Arms Theatre Pub in Salford, from 5pm across the weekend, and it's all under one roof. There are some belting top shows on and some bright new talent too. Check out show's from;
I'll be appearing in The Totally Improvised Musical and Comedysportz

I had the pleasure of being event host for a Ladies Day fundraiser in Knutsford which raised over £20,000 for Muscular Dystrophy UK. There was a lot of audience wrangling and I was one of three chaps in the room of around 150 ladies, who all enjoyed a good catch-up.
Joking aside, it was an amazing event, and a testament to the hard work of Kerry Spink, friend and fellow TEDx Warrington team. Kerry is an amazing human and a very inspiring person to be around.
