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.

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

This month’s featuring…

Improvabunga:

In a world where movie plots are getting too predictable, one improv show dares to break the mould. You choose the genre, the subgenre, the setting and the title and they will do the rest, creating a totally improvised show brimming with all your favourite movie tropes. 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! Featuring improvised songs, live musical accompaniment and four audience buzzers used to control the performers, this is a show you won’t want to miss!

ERSATZ NATTERJACK

One man and two books create an impossible story. With the support of the audience’s randomly selected words and phrases, enjoy a brand-new and completely improvised storytelling adventure inspired by the audience’s suggestions. High energy vocabulary spinning, like a human AI ingesting words and spitting out something never heard before.

Press X to Smash:

A select group of improvisors from across the Nottingham scene will perform a delightful selection of improv games for you. They’ll explain the rules, but who knows if they’ll stick to them?!

Get you tickets now and see these three great acts for only £5/£3 concession.
