It’s exciting times for improvisers in and around London at the moment, with another improv festival announced for this spring. 

The Free Association launched Big Scene Improv Festival in December last year, which they describe as ‘the hottest new improv festival in London’. The festival is set to showcase some of the best improv from all over the UK, alongside headline acts and international guest shows. 

Advertised with over 25 shows set across 2 venues, alongside social events and workshops, it’s fair to say the festival will be a Big Scene. Previous FA festivals have featured acts such as This Doesn’t Leave The Room, Fabled and Kiel Smith Bynoe & Jim Woods.

The festival will take place over 5 days, from the 13th-17th May 2026 at The FA’s theatre in London and the Union Theatre next door. For more information visit www.bigscene.co.uk or follow @bigscenefest on Instagram!

We'll bring you all the festival updates as and when we find out. Looking forward to this one!
