Hi,
I happen to teach 'Improv' classes - primarily for actors who are trying to improve their craft or those interested in performing in murder theater, but, usually I find that over half my students have absolutely no interest in theater. They have joined an improvisation class to improve - or to find - the social skills necessary to feel comfortable and to make friends in any environment. There is very little difference between public speaking - the #1 fear - and taking those first steps into a social setting, when you don't know anyone or you feel that you have nothing to offer -because you have no idea how to start a conversation or to keep one going. After all, you don't have a script.

Since I won't be moving to TV until September, I don't know if Improv classes are available there, but, I can almost guarantee that if you can find one you will discover the whole experience, of joining social groups and making friends, an enjoyable one
