Hot on the heels of their completely sold out short form improv festival at Alexander Bar, the ImproGuise team are gearing up for a run of brilliant, diverse and exciting long form improv. Aptly named ImproGuise Presents The Style High Club, each of five nights will be devoted to completely improvised hour long shows.

The Line-Up for each night is:

Mon 29
A Night at the Movies
ImproGuise, with the help of the audience’s suggestions, is inspired by movies, real and imagined, and plays out an hour long show of movie scenes. Imagine the lost scene including the kipper from Gone With the Wind. Imagine scenes that ended up on the cutting room floor, alternate endings to Marley and Me or Sleepless in Seattle, The Shining – the Musical. 

Cast: Megan Furniss, Tandi Buchan, Anne Hirsch, Ryan Jales, Leon Clingman, Peter Faure, Keren Lindley, Dave Campbell-Watts, Brett Anderson & music by James Harvey

Tues 30
Soap/Seep
Secrets, side effects, snide comments, sundowners, salacious sex, and snoekbraai. It’s our amazing, improvised, never scene before South African Soapie. Highly addictive – will leave you screaming for more.

Cast: Megan Furniss, Tandi Buchan, Anne Hirsch, Ryan Jales, Leon Clingman, Peter Faure, Keren Lindley, Dave Campbell-Watts, Brett Anderson & music by James Harvey

Wed 1 May
Musical
Sick of the same old musicals in an endless cycle on our stages? We break the mold and create, from scratch, never seen before musicals, with on the spot openings, dangerous duets, daring dialogue and plots that we don’t have any idea about until they happen. 

Cast: Megan Furniss, Tandi Buchan, Ryan Jales, Pete Faure, Leon Clingman, Keren Lindley & music by Godfrey Johnson

Thurs 2 May
The Big… an improvised Film Noir
Inspired by the much loved 1940s film genre, the actors explore the detective film with its hardboiled P.I.s, sultry backstabbing dames and seedy criminals in a shadowy world. High, and completely improvised, drama.

Cast: Megan Furniss, Tandi Buchan, Ryan Jales, Anne Hirsch, Keren Lindley, Brett Anderson & music by Godfrey Johnson and Menashe Rousseau

Friday 3 May
Senseless and Spontaneity - a Jane Austen inspired period drama
Time turns slowly. Each little rustle of emotions is deeply felt. A fluttering of the heart, a romantic disappointment, a turn about the garden. Tender and witty improv. 

Cast: Megan Furniss, Tandi Buchan, Ryan Jales, Leon Clingman, Pete Faure & music by Godfrey Jonson

Audience Responses

Not earth shattering, but great fun. Thoroughly enjoyable experience,

Just crazy!

What a lot of fun to watch! The team had such a great chemistry together, and mad skills! I’ll definitely come to watch again.

Loved it. I saw Tribute when they were last at the theatre and I’ll be back on 1 May. I found there were a couple too many on stage this time and the show lacked the level of cohesion it had in Tribute.

We loved every single minute. Took the kids, and they loved it so much. See you again soon!

Brilliantly funny - well done

Great! Wish the audience was more involved though!
