John teaches in a flowing way, encouraging improvisers to get out of their heads and genuinely improvise instead of following a list of rules.

He first learnt improv from the legendary Louis Anthony Russo in Arizona. After returning back home to Brighton in 2001 he founded The Maydays and has enjoyed years of successful workshops, shows, and corporate training ever since, creating a vibrant impro scene across the UK.

 He recently spent time in Chicago learning from Chicago Improv Assoc and The Annoyance Theatre and continues to push boundaries in improv.

He really brings the best out of people. John is an expert on reading people, so gives you what you actually need in the moment - rather than a set of predetermined impro exercises.

John will be focusing on being bold and unedited, to find the original thrill and fun of improvising without rules getting in the way.

John is a Fellow of the Professional Speaking Association and was voted Speaker of the Decade by the Academy for Chief Executives.

He’s also the author of two great books “Improv” and “Reading People”.
