Improv Playground

The Improv Playground invites you to shows, courses & workshops at Berlin's newest improv theater at Haus Zwingli in Friedrichshain, so that you can stay connected to yourself and others through the power of improv.

We will announce events that feature short-form, long-form, and musical improv and keep you informed about improv events around the city.

This Meetup was initially founded by Henri & Blake and then managed for some time by Brian Kapell. It is now organized by Andrew Rae (he/him) of ImprovWorks Berlin.
