Smash Night | | Wednesday 16 July 2025

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 home downstairs in the Malt Cross for a Wednesday evening filled with lots of fun, laughter and a bit of silliness!

This month featuring…

The Elephant in the Room

Leamprov brings to you a quick-fire improvised sketch show chock full of fast-paced performing and silly short comedy sketches. The Elephant in the Room is… we have no idea what the show will be about!

We will be performing comedy sketches and theatre games crafted from suggestions from the audience and made up completely on the fly. In the style of such classics as “Whose line is it anyway?”, we’ll be bringing a whole heap of giggles, games and silliness.

Unspeakable Acts

A cinematic folly! A real movie script reinvented as an absurd, unfaithful comedy spectacle.

The improv show that takes a real Hollywood screenplay and diverges wildly into a whole new story. The audience selects the film you most want to see mutilated and abandoned, and the team – who may never have even heard of it – will spin the tale. Absurd, unfaithful, funny and endlessly inventive, these are the stories we’ll never see on screen.

Smash Night Social Club!

Back this month is the delightfully unpredictable Smash Night Social Club!

We take guests from around the Nottingham improv scene, throw them together, and watch them spin your suggestions into scenes and stories, characters and creatures, myths and monsters! You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you may even find yourself questioning everything you ever knew… Only one thing’s for certain when these guys hit the stage: you ain’t in Kansas any more, punk!

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.
