Welcome to The Free Association's comedy cult theatre & school!
Whether you're here to witness the hilarious spontaneity of a live improv show or to embark on a journey of self-discovery through our life-changing classes, The Free Association is your ticket to an unforgettable comedy adventure.
Our in-house productions use improv comedy in unique, wild, wonderful (and critically acclaimed) ways... But we can't hog all the fun! Our programme plays host to guest shows and community performances, too.
Shows run every Fri-Sun at The FA, Haggerston, and at monthly nights in Kings Cross, Soho, and Central London.
Expect the unexpected as we expertly weave entire shows from thin air! Whatever happens, we guarantee that it'll be laughs-a-plenty.
The shows might repeat, but they’ll never be the same.
