The silly season just got stupid Impro Australia presents a no-holds-barred look at yuletide traditions, eggnog and the Santa-Nick verses. Sydney’s fastest wits and finest improvising comedians create hilarious theatre and festive songs based on your suggestions on the night. In the first half, the players respond to never-before-seen sketch challenges. You might see The Grinch played out as if it was directed by Quentin Tarantino or scenes from the picket line during the North Pole Elves Strike of ‘34. Behold as your own childhood Christmas memories are re-enacted. Our improvisers explore the joys, pains and (slightly dark) magic of Christmas. In the second act, the performers will create a long-form improvised story with music using characters taken from the audience’s family recollections. This could get messy. Enjoy an impro pudding of tasty surprises and pointy impromptu sketch comedy. Audience members are encouraged to bring along a pre-wrapped present/prop purchased from a St Vinnies or $2 shop to put under the tree on stage. Our performers will randomly unwrap the presents during scenes, with the challenge of incorporating and justifying whatever the object turns out to be. Two tickets for the price of one! Show your pre-wrapped present/prop to one of the charming people at the Old Fitzroy Box Office to receive a free ticket with every full price ticket you buy for that night’s performance |
Open scenes with no net. It’s risky, it’s fun and it’s going to backfire at least once. Expect plenty of mirth, mistletoe and merriment plus the odd turkey. An IMPROper Christmas is not a kid’s show and may get quite Rude-olph. Wed – Sunday Tickets available online: www.moshtix.com.au Old Fitzroy Hotel 129 Dowling Street, Woolloomooloo ‘Cheap Wednesdays’ $16/$24 includes a Beer + Laksa + Show ticket Be there or Scrooge You! |
