What is Twelve People?

Twelve People is an improv troupe. The best one? Maybe. The most chaotic? Certainly. We're based in London, UK. Most of us aren't afraid of flying.

Okay, but what IS it?

Twelve People performs a fully improvised show where a rotating cast of 12 top-tier improvisers mine each other for bold opinions, then spin those ideas into fast and playful scenes.

We like to throw format at the wall to see what sticks, so the show, the cast, and the comedy will be completely different depending on the night you catch us. It's jazz, baby.

Who are you people?

Our cast is STACKED, as the kids say. 

We’ve performed at top venues, festivals, and with acclaimed teams across the UK, Europe, and the US, including The Free Association, Hoopla, Edinburgh Fringe, Renegade Saints, Washington Improv Theater, Running A-Mock, and Bristol Improv. 

We’ve trained with masters like TJ & Dave, Chris Gau, Will Hines, David Elms, and Laura Riseborough. We are comedy nerds. We are your new best friends (or at least we like to think so).

Why does this exist?

Because you deserve it. Also, we like making each other laugh, and we think you will too.

Fred and Clay, on the heels of an unsuccessful Free Association Harold audition, decided to take matters into their own hands.

We follow the fun, we chase it down, tackle it, and wrestle it into a scene. We like that.

Cool. Where do I see this?

We’ve perform across the major London improv theatres, including Free Association, Hoopla, Blanche, Leapday, and more.

Keep an eye on our Instagram for upcoming shows.

TL;DR: A stacked cast and an ever changing format. We'd love to bring it to your stage. Or your house. Or your basement.
