The Festival is celebrating its 3rd birthday in the city and has grown year on year from a weekend event in 2016 to 9 days of performances this year! A great endorsement reflecting the growing popularity of the Improvisation.
Troupes and performers from New York, Edinburgh, London, Birmingham, Bristol and more will be descending on the city for 9 days of comedy, fun and a bit of madness!
In this podcast I speak to JP, Kate and Jon about the forthcoming festival shows, workshops and activities.
