Two teams of savvy comedians battle head to head using audience suggestions as inspiration. Their hilarious quick wit to concoct an amusing story with entertaining characters in the process is astounding. Humorous personalities and side-splitting anecdotes engage an enthralled audience.
No two shows are the same! Hence the benefit of impromptu comedy. Scenes are set with no script or lines needed. Spontaneous and sharp-witted talent present an original production each and every time. These comic geniuses are on the ball with intelligent puns and clever one-liners.
The Spooky Show is the first of three productions for the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. The night begins immediately with full audience participation, throwing out various horror-themed prompts. The comedy combat commences between the Black Crossbones Team and the Red Love Hearts Team. Alongside a combination of ideas of spooky skeletons, severed limbs and silly sing star battles, the jokes and puns are endless. Who will win the impromptu comedy clash by the end of the night?
With non-stop laughter guaranteed, make sure you check out the remaining two shows by The Big HOO-HAA! on Monday 8th April for The Singing Show and Monday 15th April for The Sexy Show.
