London Impro Jam - Comdedy Improvisation with a difference!

I've seen a lot of improvisation over the years at the edinburgh festival. I've always enjoyed shouting out suggestions and watching the improvisers struggle to find a way to make them work! Sometimes, the best moments were when they fail! This is a show with a difference.
The London Impro Jam alow the audience to not only shout suggestions, but actually come up on stage and give it a go themselves! Anyone who fancies a go can put their name in a hat, and if their name is drawn out of the hat they are called up on stage to do a scene with the troupe. This sounds like a recipie for disaster? Not so!

The improvisers on stage spend their time making sure that the audience member looks good, there is an MC who is on hand so that at any point they can step in to help. More than that, 2 directors sit and guide the performance. If at anytime the audience member doesn't know what to say, they can look at the directers and say in an anoyed voice, "Line!" like it is the directors fault!

I think that this is a wonderful show, with some fantastic performers on stage. They do not lie when they brand themselves "The Karaoke of Comedy"

Impro Jam have monthly performances in London, details to be found on their website:
