Could I Be Performing at The Fringe?

So, as well as bringing you the best of The Fringe, I might be stepping out on stage!

One of the most popular shows at the Bedlam Theatre (venue 49) is the almost always sold out “Improverts” improvised comedy troupe. This is how they describe themselves…

Scotland’s longest-running improv comedy show and an Edinburgh institution, the Improverts are an unmissable fringe experience. Presenting the best improvisational talent, the quick-witted players use only audience suggestions to create scenes and sketches before your very eyes, based on the techniques made famous by TV’s ‘Whose Line is it Anyway?’. No plan, no script, complete spontaneity guaranteed- and that means a different show every night! Come along armed with your suggestions for a night of original, entertaining humour.

Having spoken to Brian, the director of the show, I’l be attending their last few rehersals before the Fringe starts. At the end of that, I’ll be judged, almost Reality TV style, on how I perform. And if it’s a thumbs up, I’ll be going on stage as one of the Improverts and making my theatrical debut at The Fringe!

Nerve racking? For sure, but I’m sure that it’s going to make some great podcasting, as you all follow me on my journey from the streets to the Stage. I’ll probably run this adventures over a couple of episodes of the podcast.
