EIIF: Make a Goddamn Choice

with Alex Berg

(Sat 22 Mar: 1:10pm) - SOLD OUT

The most famous rule of improv is "Yes, and..." but you can't really DO that until there's something to Yes and something to And.

In this three-hour workshop with Alex Berg, you'll focus on being less precious about the choices you make, opting instead to get in the habit of making strong choices early on in your scenes so that there's more time for exploration.

Participants should have basic improv training.

Alex Berg is a Los Angeles improviser who has spent an entirely unhealthy amount of time at UCB, and a perfectly healthy amount of time at various indie theatres throughout the City Of Angels. You may know him from long running improv teams Convoy or Sassy Bluff, or just as "that guy who said he'd come to the party then bailed last minute because of anxiety or something." He's been on TV and in a movie or two, but listing those credits feels gauche, so instead we'll end the bio on this fun fact: he can't burp.

Edinburgh International Improv Festival is a four-day celebration of long-form improv, with teams and performers from around the world converging on the Scottish Storytelling Centre for a long weekend of creativity, community and connection.

EIIF returns to SSC Thursday 20-Sunday 23 March 2025. Joining for the weekend are two exciting headline teams from Los Angeles, the very fast and funny Convoy and the hilarious Asian AF.

With shows, workshops and late night jams, join us for a weekend of one-of-a-kind, never-to-be-repeated shows, moments of surprise and delight, and unique opportunities to connect with some of the best improvisers in the world.
