How it all began
In 2009 a group of passionate improvisers met in Edinburgh, Scotland, forming the first branch of TBC Improv. When Lauren moved to Hong Kong in 2014 she brought the brand with her and created TBC Improv HK. We have taught, performed and trained on four continents, and we're not done yet...
“Yes, and…”
Make each other look good
There is no failure!

Isobel is relentless funshine. She’s also a writer, editor and improviser! Her favourite thing about improv is that it gives you the chance to take small ideas and make them big, to have fun pushing yourself out of your comfort zone in a safe space.

Jai Day
Performer
Jai is an English Actor raised in Hong Kong and based between HK and LA. You’ve probably seen him get kicked in the face in Hong Kong Movies, punched in the face in Western Movies and/or shot in the face in Chinese movies. Other than a human punching bag, Jai’s been a Mascot, Statue, Cartoon, Balloon guy, Stunt guy, Stilt walker, Host, Writer, Director, Lover, The Colonel and of course, Improviser. He’s basically a Swiss Army Knife of positively charged mediocrity.
