Prawns and Premieres: This Week at The London Improv Comedy Club

"Improv is a dish best served with sprinkles." That's what they says. Who they are no-one knows for sure but just as the Christmas elves are beyond the ice-wall waiting for the long Winter to send us into darkness, so is London Improv sitting on an ice-beach barbecuing a fine advent luncheon for you, buddy.

Tuesday 13th December

THE INFLATABLES
and DAVID SHORE & FRIENDS
Classic short-form impro from The Inflatables with loads of games and laughs and some special guests. If Who's Line Is It Anyway..? made a lasagne and filled it with air so it floated a couple of feet from the ground, you would call it The Inflatables. Also you would ask it who's feet they were and did the donor need them.

Then David Shore comes along with a super cast of lovely folk. Sara Pascoe, Briony Redman, Charlotte Gittins, Javier Jarquin and Richard Soames line-up for fun times in funville. They're all good aren't they?

Yes is the answer.

Tuesday 13th December
Time: Doors 7:30pm, Show 8pm - 10pm with interval.
Cost: £5 on the door.
Where: The Miller, 96 Snowsfields Road, London, SE1 3SS.


Wednesday 14th December
GRAND THEFT IMPRO
and THE PANEL SHOW
Grand Theft Impro ("At the forefront of the revival in impro" - The Guardian) give you an hour of fearlessly inventive, exciting and funny sketches, skits and songs, all made up on the spot, all inspired by audience suggestions. With a cast consisting of Dylan Emery (Showstoppers), Phil Whelans (Brass Eye) and Cariad Lloyd (Foster's Comedy award nominee) you'd be a silly so-and-so to not come along.

Grand Theft Impro.... mmm, like a hot soup on a winter's eve. With gruyere croutons. Tasty.

Then a whole new show happens as the pilot episode of The Panel Show airs on your stage-screens. Two actual real-life journalists arrive to discuss real topics along with our special guests, German Chancellor, Angela Merkel (aka. Sara Pascoe) and the creator of Dungeons & Dragons, Gary Gygax (aka. Paul Foxcroft). It's all improvised and it's all a piece of comedy chocolate heaven. Mmm, yum yum yum.

Wednesday 14th December
Time: Doors 7:30pm, Show 8pm - 10pm with interval.
Cost: £5 on the door
Where: The Miller, 96 Snowsfields Road, London, SE1 3SS.


Wednesday 14th - Friday 16th & Sunday 18th December
SILLY STRING THEORY
The Silly String cast hit their second week of shows with their awesome-sauce. If you were to cross a piece of deep thought-provoking theatre with a Jason Robert Brown musical and add an Alan Bennett topping, you'd be on the right track.

It's gorgeous theatre and wonderful improvisation and London Improv recommends it like a good pie.

Plus it's at The Canal Cafe Theatre, and they serve really good pies.

Dates between 14th - 18th December
Time: Doors 7:30pm, Show 8pm - 10pm with interval.
Cost: From £7.50 .. BOOK HERE
Where: The Canal Cafe Theatre, Delamere Terrace,
