DDG Improv Jam!
Sumptuous spontaneity with one of London’s longest running nights of FREE improv comedy fun.
DDG runs an improv jam every week on Mondays at 8pm. Our venue is Hope & Anchor, Brixton, London UK.
Hosted by our experienced Jam Captains, our free jams are safe, supportive sessions where all are welcome whatever the level of improv experience. You’ll get to play in a short two-person scene in the first half of the jam, then take part in a long-form montage during the second half with a small group of other players. We’ve had dozens of brand-new improvisers have lots of fun so don’t be scared!
To play, please sign up to our mailing list here. Our weekly mailer will give you a jam sign-up button. If you don’t want inbox reminders, head direct to Eventbrite, add DDG Improv and book. The Monday event link goes live the previous Wednesday.
Please read our Code of Conduct before joining us.
Our jams also feature two guest acts every week. If you are part of a team and want to perform at DDG, please keep an eye out for when we reopen bookings for the next season. Bookings will next open on 1 April 2025 for our May-July shows.
We run a safe show and reserve the right to cancel a show with minimal notice if we are understaffed. We will always do our very best to run every single show we advertise, although circumstances may at times be out of our control.
If you have any questions in the meantime, please email us.
