Friday's Double Bill of Fun!

On Friday night the Guernsey Improbables packed out the Wicked Wolf again!

The evening started off with a opening showcase from those who have been coming to the Drop in classes (nicknamed 'The Improbabobs') Harry Billington made her debut on the Improbables stage, joined by Tim 'one hand' Park, Hattie 'the giggles' Birch, Tristan 'thumbs up' Boscher and Beaky 'Diesel drinker' Beacom.
And after their hilarity The Guernsey Improbables took to stage and for the first time flying by the seats of their pants and choosing random games from the hat. This means that there really is no way to second guess or plan ahead, you are literally thrown into the game and are forced to be in the moment which is the best place to be to improvise.
And it showed with some absolutely crazy moments and an audience that was belly laughing their way through the show.
The best bit was it was all in aid of The Hub and some of their staff got to come along and get a good laugh in too, so winners all round.

Big Friday FUN!

After only launching our professional team in March, Guernsey Improbables has played to packed out shows at the Wicked Wolf, performed at the Literary Festival and the Guernsey Festival of Comedy, and now we bring you BIG Friday Fun! 

On Friday July the 11th we will bring you a double bill of Improv Comedy. The show will kick off at 7:30 with a show from our up and coming Improbables and after the interval a show by the pro team. An entire evening of giggles and because it's on a Friday night, you can make a night of it.

The proceeds of the show will go to a fantastic local charity scheme for providing young people on the island with help support and advice, The Hub.

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'.
