Impro Poet Presents: What if History? is a free 50-minute stand-up comedy and poetry show by CJ Hooper of PBH's Free Fringe, performed at the Chamber Room. CJ Hooper takes audience suggestions and explores historical possibilities that could have been, performing the results entirely in rhyme. No two shows are ever the same. The show aims to both educate and entertain and is suitable for adults aged 18 and over only.
Why see this show?
A completely free, unrepeatable show in which your suggestions shape the history being explored — all delivered in live improvised rhyme. The combination of stand-up, poetry and genuine unpredictability makes this a lightweight but skilful Fringe diversion.
