CJ Hooper performs Impro Poet Presents: What If History? — a free 50-minute comedy and poetry show at Room 1 on the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The premise is simple: history repeats itself, but not here. Audience members suggest alternative historical possibilities, and Hooper responds entirely in rhyme, drawing on stand-up comedy and improvised poetry to explore what might have been. No two performances are ever the same. Suitable for ages 8 and over, and featuring audience participation throughout.
Why see this show?
A genuinely different Fringe experience — CJ Hooper takes your historical 'what ifs' and answers them on the spot, in rhyme. No scripts, no repeats, and no two shows alike. Free to attend and open to all from age 8 upwards, it is a warm and witty way to spend 50 minutes.
