Rhymes Against Humanity

Rhymes Against Humanity (RAH) is MissImp’s musical improv team. This group of intrepid players make up scenes, songs, and entire musicals from scratch. Andrew Lloyd Webber may have taken months to write the score for Sunset Boulevard but these guys don’t even get a rehearsal – they take the name of a made-up musical from the audience and from there create an entire musical on the spot with live accompaniment. Audiences have been left laughing, crying, and singing tunes that will never be sung again by this breathtaking bunch of spontaneous songwriters!

RAH have been performing for several years now, and have performed at venues across Nottingham including the Nottingham Playhouse, Nottingham Actor’s Studio (now Talent 1st Organisation), and more, as well as at venues and events across the UK including Edinburgh Fringe 2017, and the Birmingham Improv Festival.

Hi There!

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.
