ABOUT US

Impromptunes is Australia's leading improvised musical comedy troupe, combining the mischief of improvisation with the magic of musical theatre.

 

The troupe debuted in 2013 and has since performed across Australia and internationally at Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Brisbane Comedy Festival, Perth Fringe World, Adelaide Fringe, Bondi Festival and internationally at Edinburgh Fringe.

 

Each live show is a one-hour improvised musical, based on a single audience suggestion. All of the music, dialogue, songs and dance routines are completely made up on the spot. The cast of features hand-selected performers from both Melbourne’s comedic improvisation scene and Australia’s musical theatre academies.

Since 2018, Impromptunes has also released weekly completely improvised musical podcast episodes. Impromptunes: The Podcast has twice been nominated for Best Comedy Podcast in the Australian Podcast Awards (2020, 2022).

 

Impromptunes shares the love of improvised musical theatre through workshops for performers or lovers of impro, as well as team-building sessions for corporate environments.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

THEATREPEOPLE

REVIEWS

“Coming in as a total novice I was quite apprehensive, but it was such a supportive environment, everyone was so lovely and encouraging that it created a really great learning space. I learnt so much and thoroughly enjoyed it. Am looking forward to part two.” 

Narelle

“Impromptunes’ student course was fantastic. After years away from the performing and creative arts, I was nervous that I'd have no idea what to do. Emmet and Greg were both supportive and excellent teachers, the group of students were eager and engaged and we grew as a team over the six weeks. I can't wait to use the skills I've learned in the next series of workshops.”

Ella

“Despite coming from a background of impro and music, the course challenged, frightened and motivated me in all the right ways! A great skills refresher workshop for the super experienced and a extremely supportive starting place for those coming in with absolutely no experience!”
