Welcome!

We are the Improfessionals

An international impro theatre troupe based in Paris, France.

We come from seven different countries: Germany, England, Denmark, USA, Canada, Sweden and New Zealand.

We perform our shows in English.

We have been playing regularly in central Paris since 2001, attracting a steadily growing audience of both expats and French locals.

Besides our public shows, we offer impro classes and workshops for all levels, in both English and French.

You can also hire us for private and corporate shows - as well as for teambuilding and corporate training.

Ticket Reservations

You can reserve tickets by e-mail until the day before the show.

For each show there is also a limited number of tickets at reduced rate available through ImproTicket and BilletRéduc.

Please note:

Reserved tickets must be picked up 15 minutes before the show begins.

The Best Impro in Town 2009!

Once again; the Improfessionals won all three categories: 1) the most exciting, 2) the most fun, and 3) the most varied improvised theatre in Paris*.

Why? How? Honestly, we can't really say. We accept the fact.

- Perhaps a possible explanation can be found in the article "Cultural Borders and Mental Barriers: The Relationship between Living Abroad and Creativity" by W.W. Maddux & A. D. Galinsky in Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 2009, vol. 96, No. 5, p. 1047-1061.
