It’s A Trap! The Improvised Star Wars Show

Hello There. It’s A Trap! The Improvised Star Wars show drops out of hyperspace to bring you hilarious lost tales from a galaxy far far away. You can expect laughs a-plenty and a host of aliens, droids, Jedi and more.

Whether you know everything about Star Wars or don’t have a clue what a laser-sabre is, you are in safe hands. MissImp weave a hilarious tale for all levels of Star Wars fandom that will dance around the canon and still do a better job than The Rise of Skywalker, so hop in your speeder and join us.

It’s a Trap! was a finalist for best improv show at the 2022 Leicester comedy Festival and has been seen all across the country to rave reviews.

“The bright centre of the universe” Notts Comedy Review.

Brought to you by MissImp, the UK’s longest running open access improv group. This is the show you’re looking for.

Spon Trek: The Next Improvisation

Space: the final frontier. These are the unscripted voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its continuing mission: to explore strange new worlds. To seek out new jokes and new civilizations. To boldly go where no one has gone before!

As if there wasn’t quite enough Star Trek right now, join us for a “wonderfully geeky,” (Edfringe Review) brand new episode of the cult sci-fi classic. Inspired by your audience suggestions, this comedic parody is suitable for all levels of nerdiness and Star Trek knowledge, including none!

Real Positive Poles are a Bristol based sci-fi improv troupe who have brought Spon Trek to the Edinburgh Fringe twice. Their show After Dusk won best improv show at the Brighton Fringe 2022 and was top 3 shortlisted for best show in all categories.

“A beautiful demonstration of everything that improvised performance can be” ★★★★★ – The Reviews Hub

“Incredibly funny and intensely engaging” – The Brighton Seagull

“Quirky, offbeat and hilarious” – Swindon Fringe Review
