Hugely entertaining and jolly clever

Always good to see Improv - but they short-changed us on time!!!!

The entertainment was clever but maybe just not my scene. The room was extremely hot.

A wonderful night of delicious entertainment! Well done to Thandi, Brett and their two colleagues. A delightful breath of fresh air in a world gone looney! Thanks.

My comments are i.r.o. our pre-show dinner which we always enjoy - Alexander Bar has such a lovely atmosphere. Last night however, you had a musician playing live. Now, apart from the music he was doing (this goes to personal taste) the sound was not great - it was very loud and very intrusive. So one could not have a conversation. The venue, in my opinion, is too small to carry amplified music - acoustic might be a better option I hope this feedback helps. I would be interested to know if I am a lone voice here. kind regards

we LOVE Improguise. Whenever a show is on we try our utmost to be there and bring people to see the magic of Improguise. Last night did not disappoint! We laughed and were amazed at how clever and humorous the show was. This type of Improv is not our favourite - we prefer the smaller games like at the Galloway Theatre with many different games, however that will not stop us from coming to watch our favourite troupe perform! Good job for a fantastic show last night! If only more people could have seen Martha's story! Hoping the rest of the run is just as brilliant!!
