Snappy dressers and magicians: This week at The London Improv Comedy Club

Parallelogramophonograph: 8pm, Wednesday, The Miller 
Hey everyone, how's it going? 
Did you get to the London Improv Festival at all? Good wasn't it? If only there was a way to keep seeing brilliant international improv in.... waaaaaiiiitttttttt*
This week at The Miller, the pick of the litter, like a jam sandwich without the bread,
like a grizzly bear without teeth,
like the music industry without Lady Gaga,
we have only good stuff going on.


And borrowing the Slapdash coat-tails, we even get to steal Parallelogramophonograph for another show in London, before they disappear back to the Texan hills. Seriously, don't miss them, they are a genuine phenomenon:


TUESDAY 12TH JUNE
THE MUSIC BOX CABARET
It's back! Music Box: The Improvised Musical present their pick of the London Cabaret circuit.

The first half will feature musical comedy from Phil Lunn and Trevor Ferdy, short-form improv from Arthur, and magic from Sanjay Shelat.

They'll be followed by the excellent Music Box, with their new wave of cast members: including Maria Peters, Georgina Bream, Andrew "ABag" Gentilli, Ben Hamblin, James Witt and Steve Roe, with Trevor Ferdy on piano.
Nice.

WHEN: 8pm, Tuesday 12th June
COST: £5 on the door


WEDNESDAY 13TH JUNE
PARALLELOGRAMOPHONOGRAPH
and AUSTENTATIOUS
"Improvised plays from Austentexious." An evening of costumed storytelling that we are a bit over excited about.

Parallelogramophonograph loves to tell stories.. After seeing them at the Edinburgh fringe last year, we HAD to book them. Hailing from Austin, Texas, they do mindblowingly awesome genre-based improv. They've been together for about 6 years and done some way over 400 shows together, in their own theatre in Austin.

On Wednesday they'll be performing their awesome French Farce show. Sweet!
"Amazingly brilliant and hysterical performance" - Broadway Baby

They'll be sharing the evening with the sublime Austentatious, improvising a Jane Austen novel for your heart to enjoy. Think of it like a costume drama, but funny, and actually genuinely enjoyable (not in that pious way people pretend to enjoy that sort of thing). They're one of our favourite groups in the country, and with Pgraph this makes for London Improv's favourite ever line-up ever.
WHEN: 8pm, Wednesday 13th June
COST: £5 on the door, or tickets in advance from HERE


Everyone needs joy in their life, and you are an everyone. Jump in fully clothed. 
See you soon, my love.
