Being uncomfortable is good and is exactly what you need to break out of your shell. Try not to worry too much though. What’s the worst that could happen? In the grand scheme of things we’re all just blips in the grand timescale of history. Who cares what other people think?
Toastmasters is so much better than improv for communication, toastmasters is focused on communications, improv is just sensationalist humor for non realistic scenarios

I would hope they start you off with a lot of structured games to get you going. Remember you can “yes and bla” anything
Watch Barry on HBO
You wouldn't worry so much about what other people think of you if you knew how rarely they do.
Threat level midnight.
