Guts Improv Theatre was founded by Wu, Hsiao-Hsien in Taipei in 2004, making it the first organization in Taiwan dedicated to professional improvisational theatre.
As a pioneer in Taiwan's improv theatre scene, Guts Improv is committed to introducing and developing improv knowledge and methodologies, liberating individual and team's improv mindset and creativity through improv training.
Over 20 years, we have hosted nearly a thousand workshops, impacting tens of thousands of students. In addition to public classes, we also serve various enterprises, startups, non-profit organizations, and educational institutions.
Since 2007, we have been holding regular ticketed performances in Taipei, touring to cities across Taiwan, as well as Hong Kong, Macau, Shanghai, and Canberra, Australia.
In 2014, we established the "Guts Improv Main Stage" in Taipei's Shuanglian area, where we perform repertory improv shows every weekend.
Since 2019, we have been consistently producing digital content, including podcasts, youtube videos, and live streaming performances.
Guts Improv is a learning organization, with our artistic director and improvisers continuously enhancing and experimenting with their professional skills. We actively engage in international exchanges, introducing the latest improv concepts and techniques to Taiwan.
Simultaneously, we prioritize the cultivation of improv talent and digital transformation, providing platforms and opportunities for them to enhance their professional abilities and realize their self-worth.
"Empowering a more creatively confident Taiwan" is our mission.
We are committed to popularizing and elevating the value of improv, aiming to become the most iconic improv brand in the Chinese-speaking world. We will continue our efforts toward this goal.
