A hugely professional group which should be very proud of their achievements at the Fringe. My family and I saw them 3 times this week - the smiles and giggles from my children made our holiday. It’s very impressive to watch a group of young people work seamlessly together to create quick witty plots, hilarious convincing characters and not once standing on each others toes. Comedy is such a hard genre and to create new shows each night which provide belly laughs for all ages is a wonderful thing. Congratulations all - your university/society should be very proud.

What fun! Great enthusiastic bunch with a very engaging style. We all really enjoyed the show and will definitely be back to see another as every one is delightfully different. We recommend you do too!

Whatever shows you see at fringe you can always rely on improvabunga to be the best you see that day. A fresh and engaging improv show that’s never the same but always as entertaining. Ingenious concept that you have to see as many times as you can!

An absolutely hilarious and incredibly talented show which guarantees a great laugh and good time.
It astounds me how the improvisers can make up such a compelling story every night when the genre, location and more is always different. An absolute fringe highlight.

I had so much fun watching this show. So creative! If they'll continue to perform together, I wouldn't be surprised to see them selling out big venues in the future

Absolutely hilarious show! Saw them last night for the first time this fringe and I’ll definitely be returning for more! The troupe create such a fun, warm, and uplifting atmosphere from the get go, I was grinning right from the start of the show. They’re a really hilarious and clever bunch, who have such great chemistry onstage! Fantastic plot and hilarious jokes and quips throughout the show, brought to life by so many interesting, creative and funny characters! A must see for improv lovers and improv first timers alike :)

I saw them multiple times last fringe and have seen them twice (and hopefully more) this year and i cannot recommend their show enough. They’re all so funny and incredible at improv. They do such a great job at keeping a coherent story with all the witty characters and facts involved all the way through. Its a great show, thank you so much!

Very funny, had my friend and I in stitches the whole time! Cast felt very welcoming and included the audience the whole time! There were kids in the audience who also enjoyed it. I will be returning another night!
