Welcome to the Hippodrome

  One of the UK's largest community run theatres

The Todmorden Improv Group Present:

Todmorden Improv Night
Friday 27th September 2019 
8pm Hippodrome Foyer

They're back. Bigger, Badder and Sillier than before.

TIG - the Todmorden Improvisation Group who performed the Improv Comedy Night last September have been meeting every other Tuesday throughout the cold winter nights, pumping their comedy muscles, priming their humour stoves and coiling their funny springs in preparation for the return of the Comedy Sensation that is Improv Night!

 On the evening, they'll be playing a variety of games, such as were made famous by the popular 80s TV show 'Whose Line Is It Anyway?' with scenarios suggested by you the audience and it will be their job to turn these strange, often bizarre scenes, into jokes and laughter for your entertainment. Whether it's playing unusual party guests, trying to sell an unsellable product or acting out scenes in a variety of unusual genres, on the night the comedy will be based entirely on audience suggestions, so if you're looking for something spontaneously sparkling this autumn then put on your thinking caps, book yourself a ticket and let TIG! entertain you.  

And at the end of the day, as the TV programme famously said, 'everything's made up on the spot and the points don't matter.'     

The Tod Improv Group (TIG!) will include, but is not limited to: Dan Clay, Matt Parker, Rachel Peter and two of the three cast who recently brought the hilarious Hound of the Baskervilles to the Hippodrome Stage; Janet Spooner and Phoebe Farrington.

Improv Night is a Hippodrome Foyer Production and due to the improvised nature of the comedy, may contain adult themes and humour. A recommended age of 15+ is advised.
