About The Improverts
The Improverts is a long-running improv-comedy show at Bedlam Theatre on the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, performed by The Improverts. The show is based entirely on audience suggestions, turning them into wild and wacky scenarios — rival butchers battling at the laundromat, Queen Lizzie running a chippy and more. Fast-paced and ferocious, it runs for an hour of sketch comedy shaped entirely by the crowd. The bravest audience members may end up on stage themselves. Suitable for audiences aged 16 and over.
Why see this show?
No two shows are the same — entirely built from what the audience brings into the room. If you want to see sharp improvisers turn your strangest suggestions into comedy chaos, this is one of the Fringe's most reliably unpredictable nights.
