225 Improv Interviews Ian McLaughlin-Boho Arts Founder & Co-Artistic Director

Meet the brilliant and charming improviser, teacher, filmmaker and so much more, Ian McLaughlin. He started his Improv career on a rainy night in London (see our interview with his partner Beverly Fox) and began an incredible improv journey. Ian was so easy to chat with and he describes his method of teaching improv, starting with the first class. I felt like I was in an improv class, learning from this master! You definitely want to learn about his Blondie cover band and the surprise audience members who joined him on stage.

He is so excited about the opening of the BOHO community hub, with a building opening in December 2026. I think it would be a great time to visit Newcastle and meet the beautiful team at BOHO Improv!
