There are more types of impro shows than you realise...

The Improvised Games Show

This is the type of show most people think of when you mention improvisation, due to the popular TV show 'Whose Line is it Anyway?'

Impro Games shows are energetic and immense fun to watch with a huge variety of games and structures beyond those you may have seen on TV...from current affairs scenes performed with Shakespearean dialogue to scenes performed completely backwards. All based on audience suggestions - the audience can even get to join in some games, like 'Puppets' where two audience members move the performers quite literally like pupets while the actors dialogue justifies whatever position they end up in!

Improvised Scenes

Improvised scenes or 'Fishbowl' (so called because all the audience suggestions used to be written down and collected in a glass fishbowl) are often included in improvised games shows too. The performers create comedy scenes that can be quite short (lasting a few seconds) or quite long (maybe several minutes), they may be unrelated to each other or connected creating a mini-story. A step up from mini stories is...

The Improvised Narrative or Play

The Improvised Narrative is an amazing show. Watch as the perofrmers craft a full-length story from just a few suggestions.

Variations include:

• "The Untold Tales" - a show with two halves - one a tale of love and one a tale of Mystery
• "The Soap Opera" - We create the characters, you control their destiny. Audience suggestions are taken throughout the narrative at each cliff-hanger. (Who with the character, Joanna, be revealed to be having an affair with in the next scene? What is Phillip's guilty secret? - you decide!)
• "Premiere" or "Three Beginnings - One Ending" - the audience give suggestions for 3 beginnings to a play - then vote to see which story they would like to see completed.

The Improvised Musical

As in the musical games of 'Whose Line is it Anyway?' the performers sing - but this time they create a whole musical!
