I want to help people change who, whether or not they know it, want to change – for the better.
I am inspired by people who take themselves out of their comfort zones, their familiar habits, and decide to be something different. Something more than they were yesterday.
People who enquire of themselves and others. People who are not afraid to ask what it is like to be something else. Who are not afraid to say “I don’t know – now, but I will find out because I want to be better and I want to grow.”
I love to see people change, develop, progress, evolve and then help others to do the same. I love being part of the process or being the catalyst that helps make the change.
I want to build communities and connections between people. Enable them to see the magnificence of themselves through the eyes of others.
This is why I do what I do.
Adam is a qualified teacher and actor with performance experience on stage and screen, working with Olivia Coleman and Helena Bonham-Carter in The Crown and in Three Little Birds, written by Sir Lenny Henry.

Would you like to create theatre from nothing?
Learn how discovery ‘in the moment’ leads to fascinating characters, interesting scenes and moments of comedy that you would never have been able to plan?
On this course you will practice the art of collaboration in a fun and friendly, safe, playful and supportive environment. Where people are free to play and be themselves. Where collaboration is key and where the ‘mistakes’ are all part of the fun.
Complete beginners are welcome.
You don’t:
-
need any previous training or knowledge
-
need to be an extrovert.
-
have to be clever, fast or funny either!
Because improv comedy is not stand-up comedy.
It’s about working together to spontaneously create group stories, scenes & sketches surrounded by like minded creative individuals who support each other on stage and off, each discovering your own unique comedic voice. Then finally showing your friends and family your new skills in a spectacular showcase.

" Adam is a patient, yet inspiring trainer with a lot of acting and training experience so you are in safe hands, and he encourages you to try your own thing too. Highly recommended. Don’t miss it."
EPS, Derby
"I honestly believe that the reason I came so close to gaining a role I really wanted was because of the confidence I'd gained. If in doubt, go for it!"
LB, Derby
"Working with Adam was a real confidence boost and he has a knack of making everyone feel at ease. I'm very grateful to have been working with such an experienced and engaging teacher."
GM, Beeston
"Every session boosted my mood by providing stimulating exercises to get the grey matter working in new ways. At the same time you build a rapport with your fellow performers, learn new skills and create fun memories! All of this is delivered with clear, helpful instruction from an enthusiastic and positive teacher. Would highly recommend."
