Join us for an experimental PechaKucha where we are challenging 8 speakers to completely improvise their talk on the night!PechaKucha Night Manchester Vol. 39 - 'Improv'
We're back for our first event of 2025! Join us at Cultplex at GRUB to hear from 8 inspiring speakers taking on our improv challenge: each speaker will have to improvise their talk.
Our line-up includes designers, public servants, runners, community champions and comedians all ready to take on the PechaKucha challenge with a twist: improvse a talk using the 20x20 format; they will have just 20 images and only 20 seconds per image to speak, no stopping.
During the evening, you will have a chance to meet other creatives in Greater Manchester grab a 10-minute portrait from Holly Pittaway and... if you're brave/lucky enough, take on the improv challenge yourself.
Please note:
-Tickets go mega quickly, so act fast to get yours!
-Food and drink will be available - bring your card
- Photography : We will be taking photographs and audio recording the event. If you have any concerns about being filmed, please get in touch.
