About Us What is the London 2011 Improvathon?

What is it?

An entirely improvised comedy epic set in New York City, 1977.

Join us at Studio 50, the ultimate nightclub, nestling in the heart of Manhattan where the World Disco Dancing Championships are about to take place.T

The fourth annual 50-hour London Improvathon features some of the best improvisers from the UK, Ireland, America, Australia, Canada and Europe in a hilarious celebration of all things spontaneous. Under the effects of sleep deprivation, participants become unable to censor themselves, resulting in an extraordinary and euphoric ensemble performance.

How does it work?

Pop in any time you like, day or night. Join us late for the perfect continuation of your evening out. Come after the pub or nightclub – there will be music and an all night bar. Stay through the night or pick up the action for any 2-hour episode. Each episode starts with a reminder of what has happened so you won’t miss anything!

Come in costume if you wish! Or bring young ones to our special ‘Family Episode’ (Sunday 1-3pm). Don’t miss the final few episodes where the whole extravaganza comes to its fantastic finale.
You can buy tickets for individual episodes or go for a full 50-hour pass (prices below).
