Improverts

The Improverts is a improvisational comedy troupe from the Edinburgh University Theatre Company, which primarily performs at the Bedlam Theatre, Edinburgh. They perform weekly during Edinburgh University's term time and every night during the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
History.
The Edinburgh University Theatre Company's improvised comedy troupe now known as The Improverts was founded in Edinburgh in 1989 by Canadian-born Toph Marshall.
Carrying on the teachings of [[Keith Johnstone]], the show's format has changed over time, but stayed within the short-form [[sketch comedy|sketch]] mould similar to TV's "[[Whose Line Is It Anyway? (UK TV series)|Whose Line is it Anyway?]]".
Current activities.
During term time, the Improverts play weekly at Bedlam Theatre, and hold weekly free improvisation workshops for the general public. The show also features open theatre tech workshops allowing young technicians to learn and improvise with the players.
