The annual challenge is on. Impro Melbourne’s gungho players have thrown down the gauntlet to drafted celebrity guests: Go funny, or go home.
See TV, radio and sporting personalities as you’ve never seen them before - and as they’ve never seen themselves. Every scene is made up on the spot, sparked by audience suggestion, powered by serious impro training and performance-enhancing
chocolate bars.
The game will be full of thrills, sportsmanship and surprises. Cheer as your team reaches dizzying comic heights one minute, then gasp as they cop a penalty the next. The stars are coming out to play, but there will be no excuses, just a riotous fight to the end.

Polish up your martini glasses and join Impro Melbourne for the debonair wit
of Late Night Impro.
It’s sharper than the lapel on Cary Grant’s suit, classier than Grace Kelly’s
shoes, and funnier than Jerry Lewis.
The improvisers are vying to be named Best Director for scenes starring their
rivals. As the stakes get higher, alliances are made and betrayed, with more
doublecrossing than Hitchcock at his finest. Insouciant charm on the surface,
scoundrelly sabotage seething beneath, the players are as cool as a Bond
Martini.

Summer’s almost over and the Impro kids are back in
school, but they’re not taking orders from anyone.
They’re breaking the rules and they’re making it all up
as they go along.
They’re hip, bad and dangerous to know. After a sellout
season of the Impro Cave - held throughout winter
in Brunswick - Impro Melbourne is heading on a roadtrip
out West, to the Dog Theatre, Footscray. Expect Impro
Melbourne’s sharpshooting players to hold nothing back
with this totally new season is at their mercy. Grab a
helmet, get on the back of the motorbike and hold on
tight. It’s gonna be a wild ride.
