Another 3 nights of Pop Up Improv

Following on from their last three successful nights of improv at Alexander Bar in July, ImproGuise take to their favourite stage in Cape Town to bring you their high risk, totally out there, long form improv, this time in the form of three original and interesting improv formats. The Chair, Little Space Between and On the Couch. Choose one or come to all three.

Thursday 3 August introduces a format created by Megan Furniss; The Chair. A special guest is invited occupy the chair and word and story associate form a word given by the audience. Then the cast create scenes inspired by the stories. For an hour. Delicious.

CAST: Megan Furniss, Brett Fish Andersson, Ryan Jales, Tandi Buchan, Leon Clingman , Anne Hirsch and music by Jaco Griessel.

Friday 4 August sees the return of an incredibly popular format created by Tandi Buchan; Little Space Between. Here, the audience will write their ideas on paper, forming titles for the scenes of a more intimate nature, an honest exploration of relationships, intimacy and emotion. Moving.

CAST: Megan Furniss, Tandi Buchan, Leon Clingman, Ryan Jales and Anne Hirsch. Music by Jaco Griessel.

Saturday 5 August is the premier of a brand new format created by Leon Clingman; On the Couch. Here, the audience become voyeurs into the complexities of relationships as all the dirty secrets are exposed both on and off the therapist’s couch. Addictive.

CAST: Megan Furniss, Ryan Jales, Brett Fish Andersson and Leon Clingman and music by James Harvey.
