Impromptunes is Australia's fan-favourite musical improv comedy group. In August 2016 they make their Edinburgh Festival Fringe at Underbelly, showcasing their uproarious comedy spectacle, IMPROMPTUNES - THE COMPLETELY IMPROVISED MUSICAL.

As with festival favourites Showstopper! and Baby Wants Candy, Impromptunes makes musicals from nothing. Highly regarded in Australia, Impromptunes has proven that they can consistently produce shows which amaze and amuse. This highly trained troupe combines alumni from Australia's leading improvisation troupes and performance schools: Spontaneous Broadway, The Big Hoo-Haa!, Impro Melbourne, Victorian College of the Arts and Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts.

Nominated for Best Comedy at Perth's Fringe World Festival (2014, 2015), Impromptunes has wowed sold out crowds at Perth Fringe World, Melbourne Fringe and Melbourne International Comedy Festival.

"Every element of the show is improvised - the music, the story, the dialogue and even the dancing. Audience members and performers alike are on the edge of their seats in anticipation of what comes next," says director Emmet Nichols. "It's an incredibly fun experience to be part of. We are thrilled to be making our Edinburgh Festival Fringe debut and look forward to putting these world-class performers on an international stage for the first time."

"???? - An unadulterated concoction of excitement, danger and hilarity."

Time Out Melbourne

Herald Sun
