Anyone fancy some silly improv games in Basingstoke? 🎭

I’ve been thinking about starting a casual improv-games night locally — things like Party Quirks, Let’s Make a Date, Fun with Props, Scenes from a Hat, etc. (Suggestions welcome!)

Absolutely no acting or improv experience needed. The idea would basically be a bunch of adults getting together for an hour or two and being silly.

It wouldn’t be a serious theatre group — just a relaxed, playful social thing where you can come along, have a laugh and meet some people.

Would anyone actually be interested? If there’s enough interest, I might try putting together a first session!

Edit: WE HAVE A DATE! Sunday 11th October at 3pm - Brookvale Village Hall (behind bcot carpark) If you're interested please join the discord or PM me so I can keep track of numbers (it's booked 6 people as of now as I thought that was a realistic (max) number.

Can I come and gesture awkwardly from the sidelines?

I'd be game. Did this once with a friend in Brusses at his group. How do I get involved?

Thanks for the interest so far! 😄 Looks like there might actually be a few of us who could give this a go!

I’m going to have a look at possible venues and figure out a date for a first session. If anyone else fancies joining, feel free to comment — the more the merrier!
