In good company —

Who we are

A foot in two worlds.

Our team has worked in management consulting, technology and corporate communications, with backgrounds in psychology, machine learning and data science.

We're also experienced improvisers, performers and teachers, with years spent on stage, developing shows and teaching improvisation around the world.

We know what the working world looks like because we've been part of it. Our workshops bring that experience together with the skills we've developed through years of performing and teaching improvisation.

How we work

Safe to try

We start with simple exercises and build from there. Nobody needs to be funny or have any stage experience.

Learning by doing

People get to try things out for themselves, see what happens and build on what they learn as they go.

Tailored to you

We plan around your team and the situations they actually encounter at work.

Enjoyable on purpose

People tend to try more when they're having a good time. The laughter is part of the learning.
