It’s that time of the year again – MissImp is bringing back the MissImp Awards!
Your evening of live improvised comedy carnage returns! It’s theatre karaoke where you can be the star, this time with added MissImp Awards!
At Gorilla Burger you can get up on stage whether you’ve played before or not. Hugely supportive and tons of fun, this is a delightful way for you to experience improvised comedy.
Let us know at the start if you want to join in the fun or you can just sit back, enjoy an evening of unplanned, uncensored improv comedy theatre with a pint from the bar.
MissImp Awards
It’s the glitziest night of the year, where we celebrate everyone in our community! Everyone who books gets an award, BUT to get a fancy personalised award you HAVE to confirm your attendance by reserving a place through TicketSource by 23:55 on Thursday 28th November!
You pay at Gorilla Burger as normal; this just confirms who is up for awards!
The fun part is, the awards come from YOU GUYS! A Google Form with the confirmed attendees will be shared on 29th November, for you to submit your suggestions of nominations to suit each person. The best ones get picked! Previous examples include “Most delightful Jane Austen heroine”, “Best on stage ‘hmmmm’”, and “Highest impact:words ratio”. We will need all nominations in by 17:00 on Sunday 8th December.
The same Google Form will also be used for nominations for the very special MissImp Outstanding Achievement Award! These are two awards for two people who you feel have really gone above and beyond for the MissImp community this year, in whatever capacity. Last year’s winners were Kathleen and Staggs so they can’t be nominated again this year. However, you can nominate anyone else you feel deserving of it!
So to recap:
- Confirm your place through TicketSource by 23:55 on Thursday 28th November
- Nominate your fellow MissImpers for awards by 17:00 on Sunday 8th December
- Show up and party on Thursday 12th December!
- When you get called up to do a scene at Gorilla Burger, you’ll also be given your award!
- Dress Code: We would love to see you in your gladrags, a fancy hat or floor length ball gown that breaks the hearts of your gender or genders of choice. Or if not, no worries!
