About The Improverts!
The Improverts! are Edinburgh Fringe's longest-running sketch comedy improv troupe, performing their thirty-seventh year at the Fringe from EUTC's Bedlam Theatre. A student and youth company, they take the quirkiest and silliest audience suggestions and unfold them in beautiful chaos. Whether a seagull shopping at a garden centre, the pope starring in a rock musical, or a butcher and baker saving the world — nothing is planned and everything is possible. The Improverts are 2024 Derek comedy award winners, performing almost every night of the Fringe at eleven in the evening.
Why see this show?
Thirty-seven years at the Fringe and still running entirely on audience suggestions — the Improverts bring an infectious unpredictability that no scripted show can match. Perfect late-night chaos at Bedlam Theatre. For ages 18 and over.
