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.

Flower Freedom

A team born in a rooftop bar in Berlin now back in their native Nottingham. Follow two characters through time as they experience a (potentially) life changing moment! Emotionally powerful and intense – but will it have a happy ending?

Smash Night Social Club

A selection of the finest improvisers from the Nottingham scene, some of them wily old veterans, some fresh to the stage. They gather to serve up a fine feast of fun – who knows what they’ll produce this time?!

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.
