About Prop Roulette
Prop Roulette is an amateur improv comedy compilation hosted by Matt Male at Just the Spare Room. A range of comedians are tested on their improvisational ability, each tasked with incorporating a randomly assigned prop into their routine as inventively as possible. A prize goes to the best or most innovative prop use. With audience participation and strong language throughout, the show is strictly for adults aged 18 and over and runs for 60 minutes.
Why see this show?
Unpredictable and genuinely different every time, Prop Roulette turns improv into a playful competition. With a prize on the line and randomly assigned props, no two shows are the same — a fun, loose night of comedy with real stakes.
