Comedy improv classes & shows in Manchester! With Paul Foxcroft & Freya Parker

08/04/2026

Our monthly improv comedy show Walrus returns NEXT THURSDAY 16th April with headliner and guest monologist*, Jessie Cave!

As well as of course starring in Harry Potter, Black Mirror (Netflix) Industry (HBO) House of Games (BBC) to name a few; she is a comedian with multiple sold-out runs at the Edinburgh fringe, London’s Soho Theatre and beyond. She is also an author, illustrator and podcaster.

Tickets are selling for this one like little hot cakes so get yours booked asap.

We are so excited, see you there at the best bar in town 🥂

*What’s a monologist? Fair point. It’s a person who tells stories during an improv show that the improvisors then use as inspiration for scenes.
