Early-April events: Improvise to fit this one in!

Improv Festival
March 30-April 10; various locations; from 75kr; cphimprofestival.com

The second incarnation of the Copenhagen International Impro Festival welcomes over 80 improvisers from all over the world to perform in Denmark.

One of the biggest improvised comedy festivals in Europe, it features workshops by iO Chicago, whose graduates include Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, which allows the audience to participate either on stage or off.

The performers have no props, costumes or scripts to use as a clutch, which means it’s as raw as it gets.

And don’t forget that you can also attend a workshop run by acclaimed improviser Colleen Doyle, one of the stars of the festival.
