Welcome to The Free Association. We are a comedy theatre company, school, and corporate trainer, specialising in improvised comedy.
We find creativity in the moment.
On stage, we create hilarious comedy shows in the moment. In the classroom, our students develop the confidence and ability to express themselves in the moment. In business, we build an idea-friendly environment; a culture where workers can encourage, and be encouraged, to innovate in the moment.
For the last 9 years, our mission has always been the same: to provide the best improvised comedy in the UK...
"London’s Best Improv Comedy"” - Evening Standard
...and we know what we’re doing!
“"The FA Knows what they’re doing"” - Chortle
We use our in depth knowledge, experience and our theory of comedy to teach our students and performers to ‘find the funny’, and once they’ve found it - teach them what to do with it.
“"They know how to find the funny and what to do with it"“- The Guardian
And the result on stage is an incredible sight to behold! It looks like proper improv!
"“This is what proper improv looks like!"” - Fest
Wherever you’re from, whatever you do for a living, however old you are, we can’t think of anyone who wouldn’t benefit from it. The skills people learn at The FA simply nurture the good elements of being a human being.
"““I can’t think of anyone who wouldn’t benefit from it. It’s fun,inventive and silly, but it also really just nurtures all the good elements of being a human being."“ - The Times
