Description

Improvised mythological madness! A changing line-up of improvisers perform scenes, games and challenges from audience suggestions: creating tragedies and epics on the spot, all with a mythological twist! 'Absolutely fantastic show. Would give this show five stars and recommend it to everyone'; '10/10 show! A great improv show with amazing performers. They were great at including the audience, and we got exactly what we asked for!'; 'The host expertly handled a raucous audience whilst remaining warm and friendly throughout. A joy to watch the chaos unfold with the best comedic use of marshmallows I've ever seen' (Audience reviews).

When an improv show has a group of performers who have only met a few minutes before the show begins, those performers need to be excellent. Sadly, on the show that I saw the performers included some that were not as good as some improv 101 students I've seen.

If a performer says "oh look a whale!" there are a million good options for a response, but "I'm not a whale, I'm a volcano!" might be the worst option. And this is before they started reading the lines from the hat (and completely ignoring the Emotional Zones game that was layered on but never referenced again). This was the only show that I left early, and I should've left earlier.
