Another Festival of FUN!

Ollie having a party with a Cheese Maker, Dolly Parton and the Tardis


Guernsey Improbables played to a fantastic audience at the Roquettes last night (Tuesday June 3rd) as part of the Sure Festival of Comedy. This is our second Festival in the last month and we are loving the Festival experience.

Similar to the Literary Festival, the audience was filled with majority Improv Virgins. Some nervous that they may be hauled up onto stage or would squirm with embarrassment, but they soon had their worries allayed. In the words of one audience member:

'I was a teeny bit worried that I would be squirming 
in my seat with embarrassment- I needn't have been! 
I never thought we had THAT much talent in 'lil' 'ol Guernsey, 
what a fantastic performance, with each actor on stage giving it 100%.
I will be back for more!'


SO another room full of converts. Now planning for the next show and more 'drop in' sessions, Guernsey is well and truly catching the improv bug!

One Festival down next one to Come

An Improbable Literary experience!



While hosting the 'Word on the street' as part of Guernsey Literary Festival on Saturday night, we spent much of the evening watching some great Guernsey talent. After watching the Ukuladeez (a six piece Ukulale troop), we definitely decided to up our game and included an Alphabet Opera as the finale of the show! Set in an igloo, the title was 'The Foghorn of Fate' and randomly included a Penguin with a credit card machine.

Now we're looking forward to the Sure Festival of Comedy. We're running a full show on Tuesday 3rd of June. Book Here

And planning the rest of the years shows, including our CHRISTMAS Party Season! (Yes it's never too soon to start booking your Christmas Party!)

Guernsey Literary Festival Fun

Guernsey Improbables are super excited to be part of the Guernsey Literary Festival. We're hosting the Literary Cabaret on Saturday 17th May in the Hub (Big white Bubble Tent!) in Market Square.

We'll be introducing the show and playing some games in-between the other acts that include the Ukuladeez, Slam Poetry, Book reading, Shakespeare and performance.

Especially for the Literary Festival we've been working on some themed games. We've moulded one the usual improv games we play called 'Press Conference' to 'Author's Nightmare'. Actor leaves the room, the audience then decides on a title and genre of a book. The actor returns and is an author holding a press conference. They need to guess the tittle of their book through the questions that the other actors ask them in the 'press conference'.

The Team Selfie after our last show!

Guernsey Improbables are a hit!!!

On Wednesday 26th March Guernsey Improbables launched their professional Improv Comedy show at the Wicked Wolf to a packed out audience of 150 people!

Here are some action photos captured by Tim Park

Watch your ladder!
Just fastening your arm down before I cut it off
Aaah!
'I never knew it was so smaaaaaalll!!!'
  
I can fly!

Just your everyday scene in a brothel under a Volcano trying on a fossilised bra, oh and it's SCI FI




Release the Improbables




On Tuesday and Wednesday 18th and 19th of March, the Wicked wolf played host to the two Graduation showcases of Guernsey Improbables.

With 12 new players completing the course there was a packed out line up that did not disappoint. Beautiful characters and stories as well as a laughed out audience who were so excited most of them came along to the next night and the following weeks launch of the professional group.

Guernsey has definitely caught the Improv Comedy bug.

Highlights include the amazing Caitlin and Andrew in a beautiful and hysterical look inside the kitchen at Buckingham Palace where they had to include a mullet somewhere and a secret turtle.
