Acts this month

Stürike

Stürike Comedy’s improv runs the gamut of human emotion and experience from the sublime to the ridiculous, creating character-driven snapshots of a world slightly stranger than our own. Common themes include: the search for purpose in a hostile, uncaring universe, the ups and downs of family relationships, and the perils of working with children and animals.

Unspeakable Acts

A cinematic folly! A real movie script reinvented as an absurd, unfaithful comedy spectacle.
The improv show that starts with a real Hollywood screenplay before diverging wildly into a whole new story. The audience selects the movie you most want to see mutilated and abandoned, and the team – who may never have even heard of it – will spin the tale. Absurd, unfaithful, funny and endlessly inventive, these are the stories we’ll never see on screen.

Smash Night Social Club

Spinning your suggestions into scenes and stories, characters and creatures, myths and monsters! You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you may even find yourself questioning everything you ever knew… Only one thing’s for certain when these guys hit the stage: you ain’t in Kansas any more, punk!

 
~~~Shortlisted for Improv Show of the Year in the 2019 Phoenix Remix Awards!~~~

During the coronavirus outbreak, MissImp has continued to offer entirely free online activities for our community, including commissioning an ongoing series of paid virtual drop-ins from improvisers around the world, fortnightly online Gorilla Burger shows and more. If you’d like to help us keep these activities going and keep our lights on we’d be immensely grateful. Together, we can get through this.
