We're bringing our hit show, "So That Happened", back for ONE NIGHT ONLY! Don't miss this hilarious improv comedy show where true life meets unscripted madness!

Our talented troupe of improvisers doesn't just think on their feet - they draw from their own lives! Each show kicks off with our performers sharing real, often ridiculous, personal anecdotes. From the heartwarming to the utterly absurd, these true stories are the springboard for a night of wild, off-the-cuff comedy.

"Life is better when you're laughing. Let's laugh together with the stories that made us who we are!"

Real stories, made-up scenes, guaranteed laughs!

Kia ora koutou.

We're delighted to announce that this special mini-worksop will take place tomorrow. Come along if you're curious.

"Consent and boundaries in Improv"

Improv is a very vulnerable space for actors since we're making everything up on the spot whilst trying to be funny and creative. Therefore, it's even more important to make sure we keep eachother safe when navigating through a scene.

During this session we'll be talking about how to express our own boundaries, give and ask for consent and explore how we can play a scene while valuing those around us.

Please be aware that this session might include guided physical touch which is however totally optional.

Please contact us if you have any questions.

This special session is hosted by guest teacher

$15 payable on the night.
