Google ImpromptunesAbout Impromptunes
Impromptunes returns to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe for a fourth year with their signature completely improvised musical format. The audience suggests a title, and a brand-new musical is performed for the first, last and only time — songs, scenes and choreography all made up on the spot by Australia's finest improvisers. Staged at Ermintrude, the show runs for 60 minutes and is suitable for ages 8 and over. Tickets from £8.50. Audience participation is part of the experience.
Why see this show?
Every performance of Impromptunes is unrepeatable — a full musical invented live from a single audience suggestion. Great for families, first-time Fringe-goers, and anyone who enjoys unpredictable, high-energy comedy with genuine musical skill.
