Smash Night Wednesday 17 November 2021

Live improvised comedy continues with Smash Night!

Come and give your laughter muscles a work out with three great acts from Nottingham and beyond performing hilarious scenes and games for your amusement. Based on YOUR suggestions these funny performers will spontaneously create never to be seen again comedy sketches you won’t want to miss!

Join us at our new venue the Playwright for a Wednesday evening filled with lots of fun, laughter and a bit of silliness!

This month’s astonishing acts:

Improvabunga

Returning from a sell-out, 16th annual run at the Edinburgh Fringe, join the Watch This Improv Troupe as they take you on a totally improvised movie adventure extravaganza! 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!

Four Far Away

Aliens! Vampires! Spaceships! Libraries! All this and more as four improvisers craft a fantastical world based on your suggestion. Adventure and intrigue, mystery and magic await as we explore a brand new sci-fi or fantasy landscape!

Press X to Smash

Our exciting new house act comprises a small group of improvisors from across the Nottingham scene, performing a selection of improv games for your enjoyment. It’s bound to be chaotic, and sure to be fun!

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.
