Here's our line-up for January:
November
November is a “generation-defining” improvised play by two emerging artists, Kayleigh Cassidy and Fab La Roche-Francoeur. Offering an unflinching look at the psychic debris of nostalgia, the show invites the audience not merely to watch, but to reckon — and then offer some funny suggestions.
Rumourville
Have you heard the gossip? The improvised story of a small town where a rumour ruins all: romance, reputation and petty revenge! With audience suggestions setting up the action, a single rumour is born. Chaos erupts, relationships implode, reputations shatter and the quest for revenge turns hilariously petty. From misplaced love letters to scandalous secrets, no one is safe, proving that in a tight-knit community the juiciest gossip is always the most destructive. As heard on BBC Radio, seen at Hoopla Impro, Camden Comedy Club, Barons Court Theatre, and sold out at Brighton and Cambridge fringes.
Swipe Right
Your hosts! We perform our show Something Just Happened, or possibly something else - either way, it's likely to feature the relationships you want to see, and the relationships you may rather you hadn't.
The Jam!
Genuinely once described by someone as 'the best improv jam in the south of England' (we were so pleased by that that we repeat it a lot) our jam is typically made up of two or three person scenes. For your inspiration in these, you can either take an emotion from our patented 'emotometer' or receive whimsical words from a sweet treat.
It's a supportive, warm space for performers and audience members alike to jam and, usually, everyone who puts their name in gets a turn. Any questions, come find one of us (Andy, Carly, Robin and Rosie) on the night and just ask - if you want to be on stage, we'd love to have you there!
