This week's spotlight is on... BLOWING IT UP | Getting the most out of your scene.

Tom Burton is a rising star in the Melbourne comedy scene and for years he has been using improv as a tool to create comedy sell out comedy shows.

While Tom is an expert at doing improv for improv-sake, he's also an expert at using improv as a generator and iterator of ideas.

In this workshop, you'll learn how to use improv to stumble into good ideas and then perfect them. By the end of the afternoon, you'll have a polished scene or two ready to perform down at Theory Bar in the afternoon.

Includes a completely free performance down at Theory Bar from 4:30–5:30pm. Invite your friends to come check out what you've been up to!
