Now, in its 6th year of theatrical improvisation, ImproFest aims to capture the depth and diversity of improvisation in the UK, including new experimental formats.
From established groups to new kids on the block - this festival captures the diversity of spontaneous theatre.
From game shows (a la “Whose Line is it anyway?”) to improvised plays, from genre shows to experimental performances.
Music? Comedy? Drama? ... the audience suggests it and the performers do the rest.
Have your throats cleared and your passion for randomness ignited as you shout out ideas to make the night as funny and laugh out loud as possible.
Improfest UK will run in central London at the Tristan Bates Theatre from Sunday 26th March until Saturday 1st April 2017.
