About Improbotics
Improbotics Presents: RoboTales is a 60-minute interactive theatre show at Nip during the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, suitable for ages 12 and over. Created by Improbotics — the company behind Artificial Intelligence Improvisation — this choose-your-own adventure puts the audience entirely in charge. Actors perform alongside a cute robot host and an AI system, improvising scenes and stories based on whatever the crowd decides. Every performance is different, shaped live by the people watching, blending comedy, improv, and genuine human-versus-machine curiosity.
Why see this show?
You decide what happens — a live, improvised adventure with real actors, a robot host, and an AI that responds to the audience's choices in the room. No two shows are ever the same.
