Oh yeah, we're back. Look at us, all back and stuff. We had a blast in Edinburgh, but now we're here in our home town again ready to rock the world of live entertainment. We're really very excited about the Autumn season of London Improv. We have some spectacular acts booked, including the fantastic Grand Theft Impro, the ever creative Music Box, and the remarkable Austentatious improvised Jane Austen novel.This season also sees the start of the magnificent Catch 23: Improv Comedy Showdown league. Every month teams of improvisers will compete to win the hearts and applause of the audience, battling to stick around for next month as winner stays on.
We'll also be having a special Dr. Who celebration on Doctor Who Day (23rd November), featuring an extraordinary cast of improvisers and Dr. Who geeks; including some actual Doctor Who TV series cast. It's going to be quite marvelous.
But for now, this week. What's going on, eh?

DAVID SHORE AND FRIENDSDouble Canadian Comedy Award winner David Shore takes the stage with some hand-picked improvisers for an hour of brilliance, made up right on the spot. With a cast including Phil Whelans (Grand Theft Impro), Dylan Emery (Showstoppers), Susan Harrison (Bagpuss), Briony Redman (Horse Aquarium) and Fosters Award Nominee Cariad Lloyd, it's likely to be genius.
KATY & RACHA totally improvised 1 hour comedy show about real life performed by award-winning actresses Katy Schutte (Funny Women finalist) and Rachel Blackman (Steal Compass, Drive North, Disappear). Unlike lots of other improv shows, they don't play games or take suggestions from the audience, they just turn the lights on and start. If you've ever seen T.J. and Dave, you'll know the sort of thing: engaging stories, wit and fascinating characters.
★★★★★ - Remote Goat, ★★★★ - Fringe Review
"...it’s impossible not to be taken with Katy and Rachel’s talents"
- Chortle
Not a bad start to the season, eh? Multi-award winners and ultra-talented combos. We start as we mean to go on - only top quality shows here, oh yes. We're excited. You're excited (we can tell). Everybody's excited. See you there!
