Impulse Theatre - acting on impulse

Welcome to Impulse Theatre, Christchurch’s home of long-form improvisation. Our shows range from full-on comedic, to gritty drama, musicals, sci-fi, and everything in between. We have a weekly drop-in improvisation class, and regular guests from NZ and around the world.

Upcoming shows

We run a variety of shows at venues across Christchurch, with something for everyone. You’ll also find us at various festivals around the country.
