Kelly Agathos | Artistic Director

Kelly first discovered improvisation in 2010 and instantly fell in love with the art form. Soon after, she made her mark on Brussels’ fledgling anglophone improv scene by starting ATC Improv in 2012 and The Ghost Sheep in 2013, with whom she taught and performed for 5 years. In 2017, Kelly founded ImproBubble to deepen, broaden and professionalise the range of improv opportunities in Brussels, aiming to give future students all the tools they need to become a truly well rounded improviser. She has also been combining her past experience as an EU affairs professional with improvisation to facilitate corporate trainings, teambuildings and company events. 

Aside from running ImproBubble, Kelly teaches, directs and performs throughout Europe and acts as curator and producer of all anglophone shows for 2020-2021 at the Improviste theatre. She is also the co-founder, host and director of The Schuman Show, a comedy show mixing improv, stand up and sketch focused on EU politics.

Vincent Van Niewenhuyze | Teacher

Vincent is a professional improv teacher, player and coach from Ghent, Belgium. By day he’s kicking ass in the corporate world. By night, and sometimes even in the daytime, he’s playing improv. He has performed in over 8 troupes for over 12 years and has been teaching improv in Belgium and on the international improv circuit for over 7 years. 

Some key elements to what Vincent brings to the scene are intimacy, warmth, safety, vocals and a tons of energy to surf on. Within the field of improv, he loves refreshing the basics and keeping the fun in the fundamentals. Throughout the last couple of years, Vincent has taken a deep dive into the topic of intimacy on stage as well on the topic of gender in improv and on stage. And what he doesn’t want you to forget is, “you be you!”.

 

Louise Day | Corporate Improv Liaison

Louise is a recovering lobbyist with a comedy problem. Initially trained in improv and sketch writing at the Second City in Chicago, Louise has been performing improv in Brussels since 2016. She is a performer, writer and communication lead for the Schuman Show.

Louise has 10 years’ experience working in EU public affairs in Brussels, building expertise in the field of strategic communication, creative campaigns and media relations. Louise combines both consultancy and in-house experience in the private and public sector. Her theatre and improv experience has had a direct impact on her day-to-day role as a lobbying consultant: from honing the skills required to oversee creative production processes, to driving a culture of adaptability, resilience and creativity on her project teams. She now brings these skills to ImproBubble in the form of bespoke trainings and facilitation of strategy and creative workshops.

Previously acting as the Digital and Social lead at FleishmanHillard, Louise has also served as the strategic lead on projects on a wide range of topics: from healthcare to climate change. She holds a degree in Law and French from the UK, as well as a bilingual Master's degree in Politics from the College of Europe in Bruges (so technically she's funny in two languages).

Johan Minnebo |

Don’t hold that ridiculous title against him. Johan is our kindhearted, hardworking writer and designer from Antwerp. Once upon a time he studied at ImproBubble. Long story short: one thing led to another, and ...

... before he knew it, we made him part of the team (and offered him that title). Not just because of his creative and communications skills, but because he is 'a master of yes-and-ing in real life’. Kelly’s words, not his.
