Witty, energetic, and non-traumatic in audience interaction. Your improvised experience will differ from mine, but the cast's adroit comedic chops and sense of fun guarantee an entertaining time.

Improv sometimes gets a bad rap. You meet a lot of people who won't go to one because "it's just not their sort of thing". If you are that person - you should come to a Shellshock show. It is such a good time, so funny - and these guys are just at the top of their game. In a performing art where everything has to be done on the spot, nobody ever falters, there are no awkward silences - they deserve to be seen. I've left Edinburgh now, but in terms of going to re-see shows - something that's difficult when there are so many to see - Shellshock would be at the top of my list.

Came to watch improv for the first time last night. Blown away by the talent and comedy on show. Had an absolute blast, would definitely recommend.
