STORIES: Scenes from a Building
Picture it: A small walk-up apartment building in New York (but it could be any city). On the ground floor, a small business - maybe a bodega, a book shop, a shoe repair or... ? Upstairs, there's a revolving series of renters, some there for the short term, others linger for a while. It's NY after all. Nothing stays the same for too long. In a series of time jumps, we explore how these lives change and intersect, and how they are affected by both history and each other. In the end, it's ImprompTwo's unique mix of humor and passion, silences and quick banter that will pull you into their stories...of a building.
About Us
Combining a love of theatre with a passion for improv, ImprompTwo has been wowing audiences for more than seven years with their unique blend of narrative/genre performances. Known for their exquisite use of silences mixed with quick banter, they bring an intentional theatrical sensibility to every show. They have been invited to perform over and over again at festivals around the world, including cities in the UK, Europe, the US, and Canada. Both Kathy and Joe bring extensive experience in theatre performance and production, as well as playwriting, and their workshops concentrate on merging those skills for the improv toolkit.

The Comediasians 🇬🇧
Present 'Asian Buffet!'
Everyone loves an Asian buffet! Come enjoy a heaping plate of short form games with our Asian-level spicy sense of humour infused throughout. Of course, it wouldn’t be a true Asian experience without karaoke, so we’ll throw in some musical games into the mix. And to top it off, dessert will be our fan-favourite format ‘Every Asian Genre, Everywhere, All At Once’ where YOU get to decide what Asian genres we do (spoiler alert: it’s all of them). Get your takeaway boxes ready to pack up all the extra laughs from this very Asian, very silly extravaganza.
About Us
We are the UK's premier pan-Asian improv group, and we're on a mission to bring laughs from the diasporASIA to the UK comedy scene. We do a playful mix of short and long form improv and host a monthly night of Asian comedy in London called ‘Comediasians & Friends’.
