Improvention 2025, Dec 8-14 Participants Area

Full details of 2025’s massive immersive international improv festival are here! Smaller packages and eventually, single workshops and show tickets will also appear here as we get closer and closer to the event.

In the meantime…… Why not go straight for the Improv Addict Starter Kit Package #1, or if things are a bit tight and hard to predict, you can choose an “Any Package Deposit” to get you in the pecking order. What do these get you? Read below for information and to purchase…

 

Improvention 2025 Any-Package Deposit

  • Your deposit on an Improvention workshop and show package for participant improvisers. As packages are released during the year, you’ll only need to pay the remainder of the total and you’ll get whichever package you choose, and at the price it was on the date you paid the deposit.
  • Most importantly, at Improvention we have a minimum of three and often five workshops by amazing guests from all over the world, running in any given timeslot and there are 14 different timeslots. Obviously, we can only take a certain number of participants in each workshop, and I’m sure you want the best choice of which ones to attend, right? Make a deposit now, and you’ll receive your booking number, which is the priority order in which participants can select their workshops, when the packages are released.

Improvention 2025 Improv Addict Starter Kit

Package #1

Buy this if you think you’ll come for at least the majority of the week and want ot get high on the list for priority workshop choices, though you realise that we haven’t released the full artist list or the workshop list or the show schedule yet. You do know, however, that there will be multiple world-class workshops every morning and every afternoon of all seven days, with multiple shows and jams and social events on every night and you’ve heard about or witnessed an Improvention before, so you also know this is the best value and safest bet for a week you’ll never forget…..

Full Basic

Get me on for a solid week, but with half a day off, each day on average, so I’ll last the distance, (or I don’t know if I’ll make the full week yet, so I know I can squeeze this package into 4 or more days). I can still add bits to this later at the lowest Super Earlybird rates.
