About the show

About This Workshop
Back by popular demand, our kids improv workshop returns to the Maidstone Improv Festival — and if
last year was anything to go by, it's going to be an absolute joy.
Over two hours, children will be guided through the wonderful, laugh-filled world of improvised
performance. Working together as a group, they'll play games, create characters, and build scenes entirely on the spot — no scripts, no lines to learn, just pure spontaneous creativity and plenty of laughter along the way.

Who Is This For?
This workshop is for any child who loves to perform — the ones who are already commandeering the
living room as a stage will absolutely thrive here.


But it's just as brilliant for children who are a little quieter or more reserved. Improv has a remarkable way
of gently drawing children out of their shells, building confidence in a fun and completely pressure-free
environment. There's no right or wrong answer in improv — every idea is a good idea — and that
freedom can be genuinely transformative for kids who might otherwise hold back.
Whether your child is a natural born entertainer or someone who just needs the right space to shine, this
workshop meets them exactly where they are.

What They'll Take Away
Confidence in speaking and performing in front of others

  • Teamwork and listening skills
  • Creative thinking and quick problem solving
  • An enormous smile — and probably some new friends
