All smiles just outside the Teviot Underground Went for a comedy show two nights ago for 3 quid. Watched a group of 4 guys who improvise onstage, ala 'Whose Line is it Anyway?' Absolutely hilarious! Plenty of laughs and happy faces around the campus bar at the Teviot Underground :)
I took quite a few videos of the Improvements (as they call themselves), but unfortunately the sound quality turned out pretty bad because they weren't using mics. But here's one anyway! See if you can make it out - this is the sketch when each of them adopted a different persona and dispensed 'advice' to members of the audience who just yelled out their various 'problems' spontaneously from the crowd. Most bizzare problem award goes to the man who claimed he was in love with a chair.
Sadly I didn't manage to catch that particular sketch on film, but the following clip sees the same personas addressing the problems of i) a flatmate watching porn in the living room and ii) (from a very enthusiastic girl at the next table) pre-mature ejaculation. I love the airy-fairy French philosopher character who claims that pre-mature ejaculation is a 'good prediction of the future,' but my favourite is the 3rd persona on the extreme left - check out his killer impression of a weedy but sexually-repressed geek! Completing the trio is the macho male persona in the middle.
Apparently the Improvements perform every Friday night at the student run Bedlam theatre just around the corner. Will catch them for future laughs!
