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.
