The Perfect Pick-Me-Up: This Week at the London Improv Comedy Club

Hello all you pretty people. You all look so wonderfully awake!

Sorry this is later than normal, but London Improv (one person) has been in Liverpool taking part in the Impropriety Improvathon - a 33.5 hour improv show. Currently this is being written as part of a 'getting ready for bed' process, but as Ruth Bratt says: "comedy should be written with your tits out, and performed with your tits in." Which gives you some sort of clue as to my current clothed state.

And the rambling nature of my introduction should give you a clue as to the current level of improvathon induced sleep deprivation/sanity.

Tuesday 6th March

ARTHUR
and FLUFFERS

"Ooh, Arthur, you ARE awful" - This is a quote that I have in my head. If it is real, please let me know so I can accredit it properly. I think it was from some old British comedy thingamajig.

Arthur (the group) are back on Tuesday with their incredible feats of funny. Games, scenes, twists, turns, a bag of beans. Its all there. And they are nice. They have nice eyes, like a Dutch dragon at a poker game.

They will be joined by 'Fluffers', a new comedy show from Ed Ben and Paul Rice. Now, I'll be honest with you, I don't know anything about this show except that the name is quite funny. Maybe that'll be enough. Maybe I should do more research. Maybe I've been in a theatre in The North for the last 3 days.

Tuesday 6th March

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

Cost: £5 on the door.

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

Wednesday 7th March
CARIAD AND PAUL

with DO NOT ADJUST YOUR STAGE

I'm not going to lie to you, I'm pretty excited about Wednesday. Last year Paul and Cariad did a twoprov show in our gaff, something that they hadn't done before despite regularly improvising together in other shows for about 7-8 years. The results were awesome. As Steve "Hoopla" Roe put it - "one of the best impro shows I've ever seen." And he was right to do so.

Paul Foxcroft was one of the founding members of The Insti2ute, a third of Horse Aquarium, a veteran of countless improvathons around England and Canada and starred as The Doctor in our Doctor Who show last year.

Cariad Lloyd was another founding member or The Insti2ute, a third of Grand Theft Impro, has performed with Showstoppers, and was nominated for The Fosters Comedy Award last year.

Pedigree.

Their chum on The Miller's impro stage this Wednesday will be the fabulous Do Not Adjust Your Stage. DNAYS improvise an entire evening's TV schedule in the space of about 45 minutes. It's fast-paced, it's funny, it's great. So there.

Wednesday 7th March

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

Cost: £5 on the door.
