The Cambridge Impronauts is a student/youth improv comedy troupe performing at The Penny at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Their 60-minute show is entirely made up on the spot — scenes, games, and capers all drawn from audience suggestions, meaning no two shows are ever the same. Performed in the style of Whose Line Is It Anyway, the troupe has previously featured guests such as The Cambridge Footlights. This is described as their ninth run at the Fringe. The show is suitable for audiences aged 16 and over and carries warnings for audience participation and strong language.
Why see this show?
Pure, unscripted improv from a troupe that has been honing their craft across nine Fringe runs — every show is completely different, built entirely from your suggestions. The Penny makes a great setting for this kind of quick-witted, spontaneous comedy. Catch them for the perfect post-lunch pick-me-up.
