OMG! I can watch WHO this week?!: at the London Improv Comedy Club

Waaaaatttt?!

This week sees the arrival of very special guests (one confirmed, two up in the air). We interviewed Jacob Banigan last year, and his wit and experience were awe-inspiring. The other guys, well, we'll see... but if you haven't heard of them, you've been in the wrong plane of existence for TOO LONG, BROTHER.

If you want to be first to know, follow us on Twitter (@London_Improv) or on Facebook.

Tuesday 21st February

ARTHUR
and HMS OMG

Here Arthur go again. Wheeling out their new games-based show. It's like they've made a new version of Who's Line Is It Anyway? for the 00's. Except now it's 2012, so it's even more updated. To be honest, we'd fully expect them to turn up in the USS Enterprise, or a DeLorean, brandishing laser-psychic legs and hover-joy. They're just so modern.

They will be followed by HMS OMG! - the kings and queens of The Wilmington Players impro community, puttin' out their fungasms for all to enjoy.

Tuesday 21st February

Time: Doors 7:45pm, Show 8pm - 10pm with interval.

Cost: £5 on the door, FREE to NHS/NUS cardholders.

Where: The Miller, 96 Snowsfields Road, London, SE1 3SS.

Wednesday 22nd February

HORSE AQUARIUM
with THE WILMINGTON PLAYERS

Horse Aquarium are one of the most experienced and brilliant groups in London. Briony, Paul and Tom have been working together for years and recently held a regular spot at the Leicester Square Theatre.

They will (hopefully) be joined by special secret guests who are in town at the moment. We can't reveal who they are at the moment as they have a very busy schedule, but we truly believe that if 1000 people keep their fingers crossed between now and Wednesday, they'll make it.

The Horses will be supported by The Wilmops, those fine chaps who improv at The Wilmington Arms. They specialise in quick-fire comedy improv. It's like stand-up sketch, and it's made up on the spot. That's the holy comedy trinity, and it's all on stage on Wednesday. All at once.

Wednesday 22nd February

Time: Doors 7:45pm, Show 8pm - 10pm with interval.

Cost: £5 on the door, FREE to NUS/NHS card holders

Where: The Miller, 96 Snowsfields Road, London, SE1 3SS.

GRAND THEFT IMPRO

GTI is delighted to welcome the legendary Jacob Banigan, who is over in the UK for a brief and rare visit.

He has taken first place in many international Theatresports competitions, including the 2006 TS World Cup, Münich Impro Cup, Berlin Impro Cup, Atlanta World Domination (solo), as well as the Austrian National Championships many times over.

He is a veteran of at least twelve 50-Hour Soap-a-Thons in Canada and London. Currently he lives in Austria, performing with Rocket Sugar Factory, English Lovers and Theater Im Bahnhof.
