Acts this month
Improvabunga
Returning from a sell-out, 17th annual run at the Edinburgh Fringe, join the Watch This Improv Troupe as they take you on a totally improvised movie adventure extravaganza! In a world where movie plots are getting too predictable, one improv show dares to break the mould. You choose the genre, the subgenre, the setting and the title and they will do the rest, creating a totally improvised show brimming with all your favourite movie tropes. Whether it’s through the twists and turns of a gangster thriller, the heroes and villains of a superhero epic, or the heartbreaks and makeovers of a high school romance, Improvabunga will have you on the edge of your seat and in tears – of joy? of sadness? of laughter? who knows! Featuring live musical accompaniment and four audience buzzers used to control the performers, this is a show you won’t want to miss.
Ben Pals
Ben likes to make theatre with his friends. He’s made quite a few over his decade of improv experience. The problem is he doesn’t always get to see them. Ben Pals is an improv show built from a mutual love of friendship and storytelling. Every show features Edinburgh Fringe Sellout performer Ben Macpherson and a special guest improviser or two as they create something wonderful for you in the spur of the moment.
Press X to Smash
A select group of improvisors from across the Nottingham scene will perform a delightful selection of improv games for you. They’ll explain the rules, but who knows if they’ll stick to them?!
