What makes a great comedy song? How do we deliver when the pressure is on to be funny on the spot - in song?
Each class is tailored to who is in the room, working at your level AND the group capacity. Individual notes, team games and group songs will send you on your way, singing made-up songs with the confidence of a ridiculous clown. We will look at both long and short-form songs, the power of the rhyme and how strong character choices can drive the comedy.
Teachers: Pippa Evans with Musical Director, Duncan Walsh Atkins.
Level: This class is for people with improvisational experience.

The Showstopper group: The Improvised Musical has been a rip-roaring success since the show started in 2008. It has had eleven sell-out years at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, two West End runs, an Olivier award and a BBC Radio 4 series.
In the show, the audience meets a writer of musicals who is on a deadline – he needs their help. The audience shouts out suggestions of a setting, musical styles and the title of the show and they’re off!
