February Top Picks
Top improv shows to see in the UK this February.
Editor’s note
Hi, Greg here! It’s an absolute joy to be selecting the inaugural Impro Post Top Picks.
There are so many great improv shows and events happening in the UK this February. Much like the beginning of a good improv scene, I’ve started with what I know and love, for this very first month.
Top Picks is our monthly selection of five improv shows we think are well worth a watch. Sometimes they’ll be chosen by guest contributors and sometimes by us. They will land on our shows webpage and social media at the start of each month.
So here are my top picks for February 2026!
———————————————
RH & Friends
One of the most popular improv shows in London, and one of my absolute favourites, RH & Friends always delivers big laughs and brilliant guests. A proper crowd-pleasing show that’s become a staple of the London improv scene for good reason.
FRIDAY 6TH FEBRUARY | HOOPLA IMPRO, LONDON
The Maydays
Award-winning improvisers and Brighton legends, The Maydays are guaranteed fun. I've been lucky enough to have seen them on many occasions over the years and their shows are always top quality. Joyful and confident improv from one of the UK’s most respected troupes.
FRIDAY 6TH FEBRUARY | KOMEDIA, BRIGHTON
From Hell Yeah! With Love
Hell Yeah! are seriously good and always have me in stitches. A supergroup of London’s hottest queer improv talent head to Bristol for a special GALentine’s show. This one-night-only show is going to be laughter-filled-improv-fun.
SATURDAY 14TH FEBRUARY | BRISTOL IMPROV THEATRE
David Elms Describes A Room
David Elms is such a pro. He's bringing his acclaimed solo show to The Free Association following sell-out runs at Soho Theatre and the Edinburgh Fringe. A masterclass in improv and super compelling to watch.
FRIDAY 20TH FEBRUARY | THE FREE ASSOCIATION, LONDON
The London Improvathon
How could I not include The London Improvathon!? An improv show that runs for 50 hours. Yes, really. Featuring top improv talent from around the world, The London Improvathon is one of the most ambitious and magical improv events in the UK.
FRIDAY 27TH FEBRUARY | PLEASANCE THEATRE, LONDON
There we go! Our very first Top Picks have been…well…picked. Check them out if you get a chance. See you next month.
