As if being comedy geniuses in their own right wasn't enough, Brighton comedy improvisers The Maydays have started spawning a whole new raft of funny fledglings.

Beginning with the same weekly drop-in at which the gang themselves formed, the collective have introduced a range of courses designed to give attendees the rules, tools and confidence to brave the stage and perform comedy without scripts, props or safety nets.

In the headlights of the Marlborough - where their mentors have become a popular fixture - this showcase will allow students of the intermediate course to bare their funny bones in front of a live crowd, creating comedy in the moment from audience suggestions.

Course tutor Robin Fry, who appears in fortnightly shows in Brighton, says: "Improvisational comedy is liberating, joyful and a really good laugh - moreover, everyone has the ability to do it."
