THE IMPROVISED GUIDE TO SPOOKY STORIES
THE HIT SHOW FOR KIDS AND FAMILIES
SINCE 2014 AT THE MELBOURNE INTERNATIONAL COMEDY FESTIVAL
Monsters? Vampires? Abandoned houses with too many staircases? Out-of-date yoghurt? Dun-dun-duuuuuun! Our team of world-class improvisers take you on a journey into fear with a totally made-up-on-the-spot story of things that go BUMP in the night. Let’s go investigate with just a dodgy torch and an awkward sense of humour. I’m not scared – you’re scared!
Starring Louisa ‘this coffin’ Fitzhardinge (Impromptunes), Cassie ‘I have nightmares’ Daly (Shania Choir) and Jason ‘Got vampire-hunting’ Geary (Murder Village) and Jimmy ‘I’m-a-gettin’ Eaton (LEGO Masters Australia), Improvilicious has been terrifying audiences with its unique impro comedy since 2014.

IMPROVILICIOUS!
Impro-larious Comedy for Kids, Families and Schools
Improvilicious is a hilarious 55 minute improvised comedy show for everyone aged 10 years+.
Two improvisers deliver a six-part epic adventure, using audience suggestions, classic and new Theatresports-style games, funny scripted bits, and special guest performers from the audience. And because it’s improvised, every show features a unique new story and characters.
