IMPROV ÍSLAND

Entertainment

hefur kitlað hláturtaugar áhorfenda í áttunda sýningartímabil í Þjóðleikhúskjallaranum 2016.

Stór hluti áhorfenda kemur aftur og aftur því engin sýning er eins. Hver sýning á það þó sameiginlegt að vera frumsýning og lokasýning á brakandi fersku gríni sem verður til á staðnum.

Improv getur boðið uppá skemmtanir og hópefli af ýmsu tagi.

Í leikhópnum eru rúmlega 20 spunaleikarar sem skiptast á að sýna ólík spunaform í hverri viku ásamt því að hópurinn fær til sín þjóðþekkta gesti. Guðmundur Felixson er listrænn stjórnandi Improv Ísland.
