What we’re about
Improv is comedy without a script. You rely on instincts, reactions and a funny bone to create comedy scenes out of nothing!
Improv comedy in Oslo is thriving. There are many happening in the city for you to enjoy improv!---
This page is maintained chiefly by Aree Witoelar (Impro Neuf International) but it is open for all English improv theatres in Oslo.
A word about Impro Neuf International:
WHAT WE DO
We meetup once a week (Wednesdays) at Chateau Neuf for beginner improv workshops. We learn the basics using easy & fun games - teaching spontaneity, creativity, teamwork and more. Workshops are 100% free, drop-in as often you like! We also stay after the workshop for an improv comedy show - where you can watch your teachers perform a fully improvised performance - sometimes you can even join a jam!
WHO WE ARE
We are a mix of international students, expats from different countries, and merry Norwegians(!). Many started their very first step into the world of improv with us. So try that bold first step yourself! No experiences necessary – all we need is a good spirit and a big laugh.
NB. Most active conversations are on our Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/improneufinternational

💡 Meet the Facilitators🔥 Sondre Jensen has been part of Impro Neuf for years, known for his calm presence and playful spark on stage. He is the founder of Krem de la nøff, a murder mystery improv team where clues, secrets, and unexpected twists unfold—and even the performers don’t know who the murderer is until the story takes shape.

His music creates atmosphere, supports the action, and adds emotional depth to scenes, helping to make every moment on stage feel more alive.
🔥 Rémi Rossi is a light-hearted and playful improviser known for his quick character voices, signature animal impressions, and charming French accent.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━🎭🎉 Join us for an incredible night of laughter and spontaneity at Impro Neuf's Wednesday English Improv Show! 🎉🎭
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
This week’s lineup features three unique teams, each bringing their own flair and energy to the stage:🥇 Goal Diggers 🥇
Quirky and heartwarming, the Goal Diggers are an all-female team that takes down the patriarchy, one laugh at a time. They tickle many diversity boxes and this reflects in their shows.👥 Parallel Lives 👥
Parallel lines never meet. Until they do. Two improvisers (Arthur Gil Larsen, Invi Brenna) lead remarkably similar lives, in the same foreign country, with the same hobbies, dozens of the same friends, and never meet. Until, after a decade, they did, and now they're here to take you on a journey inspired by YOUR favourite coincidence. Enjoy a chocolate box of characters who care, consequences, charm, chaos and clarity. The Norway we both left a decade and a half ago isn't the same as the one we've returned to. Expect an inside-outside perspective on everything - especially on what it means to belong.🌺 Petunias 🌺
Petunias were originally seeded behind the iron curtain, each in their own country, that is to say in Poland and Hungary. After the curtain dropped and their pots were getting too tight they got exported to Oslo, Norway in different curious ways. Although the cold north is not exactly their climate, they got assimilated quite well and found each other while playing volleyball, board games, and joining a certain cult. Petunias are Natalia Wydra and Brigitta Peto.━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
