I highly recommend this show. It was thoroughly enjoyable, funny but at the same time there were some thought provoking moments.

My friend's favourite show of our lovely Fringe Weekend! She proclaimed the most she had ever laughed! Can't wait to see what the future of AI improv could be!

I loved the performance, and the concepts discussed. I think the actors did a great job at working with the AI. I especially liked the cyborg concept of an AI driving the word choices of a character.

Great fun show. Improv, comedy, audience fun, bit crazy. Anything can happen. Very unusual but it really works.

Attended preview… and in this instance connection to the internet was an issue so AI recommendations weren’t always available. Also issue with performers earpieces. I’m sure the team will rectify this going forward to enhance the experience
Great concept for a show to provide the improv actors with good source material… and these actors were very good at developing chosen themes to conclusion.
