Join Anthony Barnish, one of Manchester’s most experienced improvisers, for a fun, high-energy in-person intensive workshop at the Central Methodist Hall.

Anthony has been a key part of the Manchester improv scene for years, performing and teaching with acclaimed groups including Barnish & Carmichael and Absolute Onions, bringing a wealth of experience in quick-thinking comedy, character work, and ensemble performance. (ImproQuo)

The session will also be supported by Tom Short, award-winning comedy educator, performer, and founder of Comedy Lab, bringing over a decade of industry experience in stand-up, comedy writing, and performance training. Together, Anthony and Tom create a relaxed, welcoming environment designed to help you grow in confidence while having a brilliant time.

Perfect for complete beginners, performers wanting to sharpen their spontaneity, or anyone looking for a fun and confidence-boosting creative experience, this workshop is packed with laughter, creativity, and practical performance tools.

Across the session, you’ll explore quick-thinking games, scene work, character creation, storytelling, and the joy of creating comedy in the moment with others.

No previous experience is needed — just bring your energy and willingness to have a go.

Whether you want to improve your performance skills, meet like-minded people, or simply try something new, this is a brilliant chance to step outside your comfort zone in a supportive and exciting atmosphere.
