The listed teams are Hoopla-produced house teams, and regular weekend show performers. ==Diversity==

Hoopla aims to promote diversity in improv and comedy. Hoopla hosts a monthly night for BAME players, run by Do The Right Scene. After a 'Crash Landing' workshop, it presents a performance called 'Special Delivery'. and runs an LGBT 'Loud and Queer' night at Hoopla. The Playground is an all-female monthly night run by Lauren Shearing and Maria Peters's two-person improv show Breaking & Entering. In 2016 it was named by Time Out as one of "Six all-female comedy gigs not to miss this spring". Hoopla offers a number of diversity scholarships to people who are unemployed or on low-income, students, key workers, over 60s, under 23, homeless or in sheltered accommodation or BAME. ==Media coverage==
