This Might Get Weird on Waiheke – improv comedy

This Might Get Weird improv comedy is coming to Waiheke!

Joined by a cast of tomorrow and today’s most delightful improvisers, we have not one, but four directors ready to captain the ship of improv comedy into uncharted waters of joy and intrigue. The results will be high stakes hilarity and a constantly changing experiment of one of theatre’s weirdest niche art forms…improvisation!

Act 1 sees four improvisers riff up a storm of comedy scenes for your entertainment and joy. When the dust settles, one improviser is bestowed the honour and responsibility of directing the entire Act 2.

Witness this double bill of chaos in all its glory!
