The past, the present, the future: This week at The London Improv Comedy Club

'Allo sweetheart, how y'diddlin'?

Firstly, that thing we said yesterday on Twitter... that was an April Fool, wasn't it? Yeah. We're not leaving you.

London needs a place where you can see a huge range of really top-notch improvised comedy and theatre, so we're sticking around. You can see other good improv elsewhere, true, but no-where else has such a brilliant selection of high quality acts as right here, at The Miller, twice a week.

Speaking of which.. secondly:

Tuesday 3rd April

ARTHUR
and DO NOT ADJUST YOUR STAGE

The Shortform power-monkeys of Arthur bound up on stage to energise you with their quickfire games and scenes, and increase your potassium with an endless supply of mirth-bananas. The furry little fellas have a bunch of new ways to play with improv. One of them may (or may not) involve a swinging tyre.

When they're too tyred (heh) to continue and the cast are returned to their cages it's time to come and feel the noise. Do Not Adjust Your Stage create an evening of televisual entertainment way better than any night spent at home weeping into your TV Times. Why put yourself through an episode of Emmerdale Farm or The Voice when a handful of comedians can create something much more satisfying right in front of you. In person?

Tuesday 3rd April

Time: Doors 7:45pm, Show 8pm - 10pm with interval.

Cost: £5 on the door.

Where: The Miller, 96 Snowsfields Road, London, SE1 3SS.

Wednesday 4th April
AUSTENTATIOUS

with PROJECT TWO

Austentatious are pretty much the best thing of the 18th Century, but thank Dickens! they exist in our time. Join The Milk Monitors as they improvise a Jane Austen novel based on your suggestions, and - I'm not going to bother hiding my favouritism - they are amazing. Think all the good things of a costume drama: romance, snappy outfits, pipe-smoking and heaving bosoms.. and add all the best parts of a comedy show, as six awesome improvisers kick bustle.

Cast includes:

Fosters Award Nominee - Cariad Lloyd, Hackney Empire New Act Of The Year Finalist - Rachel Parris, and Rap-God - Joe Morpurgo. Yeah.. that's some caliber, right there.

Specifically to screw with chronology, Austentatious will be supported by a new show from Chris Mead (8bit, Andrew & The Slides of Chaos) and Jonathan Monkhouse (me). We debut our improvised science-fiction show (cue tummy butterflies). Join us aboard the Project Two facility when we can access any piece of history since the year 2017. Will you see the Great Spice Wars of the Draxon Colony, or will you witness the first time-travel device accidentally built in Jim Atkins' Stockwell Garage? Pop along and find out.

Wednesday 4th April

Time: Doors 7:45pm, Show 8pm - 10pm with interval.

Cost: £5 on the door.

Where: The Miller, 96 Snowsfields Road, London, SE1 3SS.

So there we go.. it's action-packed. No joke. Although there will be jokes. Plenty of them. That's kinda the way we roll.

Hey, while you're here, why not sign the petition to get "Best Improvisation Act" to be part of the Chortle comedy awards next year? There are no arguments against it. Try and think of one.... you can't, can you? And you are a mighty intelligent and, let's face it, very attractive human.

Yes, I just flirted with you. En Masse.

See you soon, luvverrr.
