How fast time flies when you’re having fun!

And before we begin we’d like to thank everyone who was involved in Light Night.  We had a fabulous time being mediums and spirit guides in St George’s Hall.  A big CONGRATS to Open Culture for a great night.

May also saw some of our Improprieters heading to the big smoke to take part in the London 50hr Improvathon.  Set in ancient Greece before the first Olympic games we saw death, betrayal & Dungeons & Dragons!  We can’t wait to head over to Canada for Die Nasty’s 50hr in September!

And we’ve also been squirreling away with the Dr Captain at OpiateTV creating our own ImproprieTV! It’s all too exciting!!

So what’s next…….IMPROVAGGEDON at the Unity – July 3rd at 8pm of course!  Stay tuned for details to follow.

And of course – if you fancy having a go at making things up & laughing a lot for 2 hours a week, come & join us in our fortnightly workshops at Mello Mello, Parr Street every other Wednesday (the next one is June 13th) 7pm – 9pm.  And only £2! BARGAIN!

Posted in Improvised Soaps, News, Trailers with tags , , , , , , , , , , on April 6, 2012 by improprietyliverpool

The plot thickens at Sodem Hall and with the arrival of police inspector Padlock Halls the search is on for the murderer of Lord Sodem.  The will has been read and whoever reveals the perpetrator walks away with the money! Who could it be? Imelda Hyde, Lord Sodem’s mistress?  Snidely B’Stard who is the only true heir to the Sodem estate…..or is he?

And if you missed the last episode – look at this fabulous trailer by the even more fabulous Doctor Captain.  And read the wonderful review from the even much more fabulous Remote Goat reviewer Mr Patrick Cunningham.  And for even much much more fabulousness catch the next episode on Tuesday 10th April at The Kazimier.  8pm.  Only £5.

“I implore you, turn up and tune in next week for part the third, which promises once more to satisfy your need for salacious Victorian gossip.”
