leapday Recensioni 

David taught me Level 1 improv way back in 2017 and he continues to be an excellent teacher and all round lovely human. I've had fun at the leapday choir and look forward to seeing what other fun nonsense he cooks up. Highly recommend!

David Elms Describes a Room is, ironically, indescribable. David has incredible skills for enacting the ideas given to him by the audience, and the shared experience is magical. Hugely important was the quality of shared endeavour that David created, so that we all felt 'we can do this'. I loved it.

I did the 8 week Long-form Improv Course run by David Elms and it quickly became the highlight of my week! David distills his multiple decades of improv experience into helpful lessons and fun exercises that goes straight to expanding your knowledge and confidence at improv. Simultaneously he creates a judgement free space where people can feel free to be silly and make fun of themselves (David will often do this to himself!) forming a community that has lasted beyond the 8 weeks for me and acted as a great gateway into the London improv scene. Make sure you can go to as many (if not all) of the weeks as possible to get the most out of it!

It's not often you find something that feels completely frivolous AND completely vital at the same time, but that's what David Elms has got here in the jam. There was a holding yet light touch facilitation of the session, allowing everyone to stretch themselves as they wished or were able. The jammers were very welcoming and inclusive despite my inexperience and there were lots of opportunities on offer. Give it a go!

I’ve been to a few of the jams. The community are very welcoming and everyone is there to have a good time.

I had a lot of fun at the class I attended. David really knows improv back to front.

Leapday offers a very precious variety of improv jams, workshop ans more for every level - a really important addition to London’s improv scene. Recommended for everyone !

Oh and David is an amazing improv coach :)

Brilliant evening with a true master. Highly recommend!

David is so great! A very experienced improviser and the workshops are always incredibly welcoming and supportive. Couldn’t recommend more!

I've been to leapday's jams and choir sessions and I always loved them. The community is great, helpful and fun, and every jam has the right mix between new faces and returning improvisers.

I've also had the chance to have David as a teacher and he's really great. He knows how to convey his message with few words, thus allowing the students space to practice and express themselves.

Highly recommend

I had seen David perform many times before attending my first Leap Day class, so I knew he had a wealth of improv knowledge and experience to share. He is also a kind, gentle and encouraging teacher.
At the start of the class David made sure everyone was comfortable and felt welcome and free to play and express themselves.
Everyone in the class had many chances to perform and we were encouraged to dive in and try each exercise, even if we weren't sure what we were doing.
David shared many mind-expanding nuggets of improv wisdom, that I will be thinking about for a long time to come.
The whole process was very smooth, from booking online and receiving all of the information via email to arriving and being shown where to go. Highly recommended!

David Elms delivers soul enriching experiences and positive impactful takeaways through his leapday platform. From informative classes to jams to social gatherings to shows, David creatively and enthusiastically establishes a fun atmosphere full of laughter and playful exploration. David's positive personality and presence are magnetic, tremendous and unique.

David's a brilliant teacher! I've had the pleasure of his teaching for a series of classes and courses now, as well as ad hoc coaching, and every time I've found him to be an excellent, enthusiastic guide into the world of improv. He creates a friendly, supportive environment within which to learn and experiment, and his side coaching is always constructive -- if you're lucky he'll join in the scenes as well! Would thoroughly recommend for all of your improv needs.

Took one of the workshops run by David. Really great experience. Very kind atmosphere, which is really helpful when putting yourself out there in front of new people.

Relaxed, friendly, informative workshop. David is very knowledgeable and has a lovely laid back approach, whilst being super well versed in many improv techniques. Be prepared to learn, laugh in a lovely supportive environment.

I've taken part in many of David's classes and every single class has been totally brilliant, fun, intelligent, stupid and sublimely wonderful. If you want to improve your improv, improve your life, improve your playfulness then pick any single class and you will be improved and improv'ed. What I love about his classes is that anyone can take part, with no experience in anything besides breathing. I highly recommend everyone treats themselves to a spa day of playfulness and joy.

Just finished the 8-week long-form improv course with David and it was brilliant. He created a great, no pressure environment for us to learn, experiment and play. He is encouraging and gives great guidance when needed. A great course for beginners and experienced improvisers. Highly recommend.

Loving Leapday classes events and jams. A super fun and supportive community led by David!

We had an amazing coaching session with David! He was very organised, thorough with his feedback and really helped us level up our improv. We learnt how to use space to build compelling scenes, identify the game as early as possible, and work together as a team more effectively. One week later, we had our best show so far! Can’t recommend him enough. If you get the chance to book him, do it!

Leapday Jams are a hoot. David is an excellent facilitator and creates a really supportive and fun space just to let go and have some fun. They're great for beginners who are getting a taste and the more experienced who want to get reps in.
