After feeling out of place at UCB for years and taking a long break to reevaluate, when I came back to improv through WE, it felt like everything clicked into place. I’m having fun doing improv again and the community is a huge part of that. So thankful for WE and the space it provides for all kinds of silly.

WE knows you have a lot of options when improvising, and life is expensive so we want to make sure your dollar goes as far as it can. WE greatly appreciates your consideration.
Curriculum Guide
Here’s where you’ll find all our classes. WE believes in meeting improvisers where they are at and bringing everyone up to the same level, so there’s no wrong place to start. However we do offer some suggestions to help maximize your feeling of success and to meet and play with people with similar experiences.
If you’re new to improv, start with Foundational 101AB.
If you’re looking to complete the WE Moneyball Program, start with Foundational 101AB Then take Intermediate 201A or 201B. Then Advanced 301A and 301B or 401.
If you’re looking to jump back in, or to shake off the rust, try 101AB, 201A, or 201B.
If you want to be eligible for the Residency Program, you need to have taken any two workshops.
Garden Tier Pricing
Just as with our curriculum, WE believes in meeting improvisers where they are at with regards to pricing. Life in LA is expensive, and WE believes there should not be a financial barrier to entry into improvisation.. Thanks to the support from the community through Pr(WE)mium memberships which allocates a small percentage to expanding opportunities, WE is pleased to announce Inclusive Pricing tiers for all its core curriculum. Community pricing is for you to plant your seed. Supportive pricing is our traditional tier priced to water your plants and keep the lights on. Sustainable pricing is to provide a little extra to help grow the garden for others who want to plant their seed. If none of these tiers meet you where you are at, email us at weimprovcomedy@gmail.com so we can work with you. Thank you!

About We Improv Classes
WE was created to provide an inclusive team-focused improv community for all learners. I (Jake Jabbour) am a 2010 TFA Corps Member and have my Master’s in Special Education so educational accessibility is at the forefront of my instruction. Combined with eleven years of improv experience at UCB LA, WE sets out to create a supportive and individualized comedy community.
How is WE Improv different from other schools/theaters?
1) The WE curriculum is research-based, multi-modality and designed to be inclusive for all learners.
2) Where other schools require you to see shows, WE creates opportunities for you to be in shows. Every standard curriculum class comes with four performances so you can get reps in and learn from performing.
3) WE workshops are small-group so you can feel part of a team immediately.
d) WE will never hold auditions. All residency and house teams are formed out of classes by the team members themselves. Improvisers are empowered to take ownership over their team development and focus.
