The Spontaneity Shop - Maestro Impro
The Spontaneity Shop: Maestro Impro - Sunday 11th May
Fifteen comedy improvisers will play out a series of sketches and games – all completely made-up on the spot. At the end of each one, they will throw themselves on your mercy! You, the audience, award the points which will determine who stays in the competition and who is eliminated.
At the end of the night, there will be one glorious winner – the funniest of them all, the improviser’s improviser, the champion of champions.
But it won’t happen without your votes, so be there and be part of the fun.

7pm
Tickets cost £8  (Can be bought in advance through

The Cockpit Theatre is conveniently situated in central London.  Purpose-built in 1970, we are confident it offers the best value hiring opportunities of like kind within the M25.

The theatre is well-known in the arts and entertainments industry and the venue's engaging atmosphere and reputation for innovative work (and easy evening parking) makes it popular with press, VIPs and audiences alike.

The Cockpit has its own small team of permanent, dedicated staff but is owned and funded by City of Westminster College; a combination that makes for a friendly, professional environment but comparatively low overheads - enabling us to offer highly competitive rates.
