Part of our monthly Saturday improv drop-in workshop series at The Old Hairdressers
Stand Your Ground - Improv Jurisprudence with Stephen Gillies
Order in the court! Ever find a scene quickly runs out of steam? Do your second beats wilt under cross-examination? Do you wish you could subpoena more out of a game? The verdict is in: what you’re looking for is justification!
This workshop will focus on one of the fundamental pillars of improvised comedy: justification. Justifications determine the pathway the rest of your scene (or scenes) will go, and can turn a good improv scene into a great improv scene. We will look at how to quickly establish a strong opinion, how justification helps anchor your scenes in a grounded world, how to dig deeper to find playable justifications, and more!
Take the stand and establish your defense as a master of justification with “Stand Your Ground: Improv Jurisprudence”!
Stephen Gillies started playing short form improv in a cinema basement for a small and confused audience of cinephiles. He made the switch to long form improv after training with The Spontaneity Shop and Glasgow Improv Theatre, and never looked back. A member of the GIT House Team  Couch , Stephen has been a regular in the Glasgow improv scene since 2022, and has performed at events like the Edinburgh International Improv Festival, Glasgow International Comedy Festival, and Edinburgh Fringe.

We came here on a spontaneous visit one Sunday afternoon in January and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Our wee boy loved seeing the &ldquo;old fashioned house&rdquo; and was so well looked after by all the staff, from the cash register to the flat and back out again.

We went round twice (with a shift change between visits!) and the insight into one story of no doubt thousands like it in Glasgow was fantastic. Plus our boy thoroughly enjoyed colouring in his wallie dug. A hidden gem that is well worth the wander through Garnethill.

It is a dream castle. When I arrived, it was the April holiday, there were almost no people on the road, only the old buildings stood in the cold air, solemn and heavy, which was awe-inspiring.
