Imagine a new kind of musical…

…Joy, Heart, Harmony. Founded using a Nursery Theatre Original’s Grant in 2018, Acaprov is a 5* improvised a cappella long form musical directed by award winning actor, singer and improviser Lisa Lynn (HOOPLA, MusicBox, Shuffle, Hell Yeah! The Show). Based in London, England; the show brings together Beat-Boxing, Rap, Body Percussion, Acting, Dance, Singing, Improv and heart to entertain audiences world wide.

Every performance is unique. Acaprov take a location and title from the audience before spontaneously creating a non-stop musical that will make you laugh, cry, dance in your seat, and sing all the way home! Everything seen and heard is 100% invented in the moment and entirely from the minds, mouths and bodies of the performers - completely a cappella.

After an acclaimed opening run at The Nursery Theatre London, Acaprov now perform at (and sell out) multiple London venues regularly, notably The UK’s Number 1 Improv Theatre HOOPLA, and their monthly residency at Arkstar London. Nationally Acaprov have performed in many cities including Manchester, Leicester, Southend-on-Sea, and at the Royal Court Theatre in Wigan with a capacity of 1200, our largest to date.

Both Nationally and Internationally Acaprov were immediately invited to perform their ground-breaking musical at Festivals and as guests - they appeared in 5 World wide festivals in their first 18 months (before the pandemic hit). In the UK Acaprov sold out at their first Brighton Fringe run of 6 shows; and the Leicester Improv Comedy Festival. Internationally they sold out TILT Festival Estonia; SO Improfest Bulgaria; as Frei.Wild Impro Theatre’s guests at the International Cultural Centre in Berlin; and as Stockholm Improv Comedy’s guests performing our 2 hour show at The Improvisations Studion.

We will soon return to Improfest Odramtiska Gothenburg where Acaprov will headline the 2022 Festival; before ending the year at the Ireland Improv Festival in Dublin; and offering ImproNeuf Workshops in Norway.

Online, during the COVID-19 lockdowns Acaprov reached even further afield selling out workshops and sharing pre-recorded shows via ZOOM and YouTube in collaboration with many theatres and festivals including: The Hideout Theatre, Texas; The MOPCO Theatre, New York; HighWire Improv, Baltimore; The Amsterdam Online Improvathon; and Twitch favourites Extreme Improv. 2023 should see the rise of USAcaprov and CanadAcaprov - so watch this space!
