The Long Shots are back at the Alexander Bar with their quirky and hilarious long form improv style! It’s all made up on the spot…Come and see a series of improvised scenes and stories inspired by audience suggestions. Everything is improvised: no planning, no script, just the comedy that comes from being in the moment!

FORMAT: ARMANDO
The "Armando" (named after Chicago Improv comedian Armando Diaz) begins with a true, personal monologue by one of the improvisers, based on an audience suggestion. The improvisers then create a montage of scenes inspired by that monologue. This process repeats itself a number of times, introducing us to a multitude of colourful characters and funny situations. As they say, there is comedy in truth!

Here’s what some previous audience members had to say:

‘First time seeing the Long Shots. What a treat. The time flew by and honestly for 50 minutes we were laughing non-stop!’

‘Thoroughly entertaining, spontaneous yet professional.’

‘Raw, funny, shameless.’

‘We attended two shows this week and enjoyed both immensely. Funny, smart, entertaining, captivating.’

Audience Responses

I thought the show was really great I think it should be longer as the players only really get into the good rhythms about halfway thru. By the end I was enjoying but wanted more. I'm sure the actors have the gees for another 30 minutes. This will increase their fun and ours. But great show.

Hilarous! Loved them

Superb all round acting,loads of laughter, will definitely attend every show if I could.
