23.01.2022 We are meeting the cast of Iron Improvisor 2020 leading up to the show on the 18th December at the Ron Hurley Theatre. Wade is a seasoned veteran of Brisbane and Australian improvisation. He's been performing for more than 20 years and teaching for more than 10. He is a founding member of ImproMafia and a key driver in ImproMafia’s unique approach to long-form storytelling. His interest in storytelling has crossed genres and time periods: from Japanese myths and legends and B...ritish farce to every day (but amazing) stories people have experienced in their own lives We're sending 2020 off with a bang, so book now to grab your tickets at the link below! https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/iron-improviser-2020-a-good

23.01.2022 Introducing our next team who will be competing in our Theatresports competition tomorrow night.... Dignity Grace and Poise. Amy (AKA Poise) and Wade (AKA Dignity) went to school together but didn't know each other until they started doing impro. Now, they have teamed up to relive the trauma of their school days together on stage. Will they soar like eagles or join the chooks in the barnyard? We have limited tickets available if you are interested and a Covid safe plan in place. Book now: https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/scratch-night-tickets-11763

23.01.2022 Thanks to everyone who came to our final show of 2020: Iron Improviser! We had four fantastic teams that brought their A game to the Ron Hurley Theatre, but the triumphant group was Carla, Jaz and Tom as "We've Peaked". Of course, we had to narrow that down to one final Iron Improviser, and a brutal game of "Backslap" saw Carla crowned our 2020 champion!... We are very grateful we were able to hold a show with an audience after this tumultuous year.

21.01.2022 There are just EIGHT tickets left for our first Scratch night show tonight. Grab a seat and enjoy a combination of Theatresports games plus some unique new formats. Pictured below - Luke and Coen, who will be joining forces as team "Cocaluca"....

14.01.2022 The host of this year's Iron Improviser 2020 is ImproMafia veteran Natalie Bochenski. Natalie enjoys true crime documentaries and is slightly obsessed with cults. She'd quite like to start one but doesn't have the rampaging self-confidence you need to convince people to hand over their hard-earned cash for spiritual fulfilment. But she encourages you to come to Iron Improviser. Tickets are really reasonable, and it will open up a whole new world of possibilities for you. Also..., maybe you'll want to move to a commune with Natalie and take part in public shaming rituals? Just a thought. We're sending 2020 off with a bang, so book now to grab your tickets at the link below! https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/iron-improviser-2020-a-good
