Past Shows

The Cambridge Impronauts have been performing long and short-form shows for many years. On this page, you can read about some of our past shows to see why we’re so popular!

Long-Form Shows

Long-form shows are continuous narratives made up entirely on the spot! From just a few audience suggestions, we create an entire play with a plot, characters, emotions, atmosphere, and plenty of laughter. The format varies wildly – from Fantasy, to Film Noir, to Reality TV show – but whatever it is, it’s guaranteed to be fun! Each night is completely improvised, meaning you really will see entirely different performances from the same show!

Click on the shows below to check them out and read their reviews. Some even have full recordings that you can view on our YouTube channel.

Poster for Lights, Camera, Improvisation: The Improvised Making of an (also improvised) Motion Picture. The title is emblazoned on a large clapperboard, with text reading 'take 369' (the previous few takes being crossed out). Around the clapperboard is a scene of general chaos. A man is dangling perilously from the edge of the clapperboard. A man and a woman are embracing on top. In front of the board, a romance scene is being filmed in front of a green screen between a princess and an alien. In front is a boom operator holding a boom with his arm in a cast, and a director sat in an Impronauts-branded chair, sorting through papers reading 'Court Order' and 'Letter of Bankruptcy'. A car is swerving out of control towards the set. In the background, something is on fire.
Poster for One Last Job: An improvised Heist. 4 improvisers, dressed in colourful outfits, have broken into a vault full of diamonds and gold. They are, in order: holding a shark, juggling, playing ping pong, and using a jackhammer.
Poster for An Improv Noir. A body is leaning against a wall in an alleyway. On the wall is text reading "An Improvised Murder Mystery", seemingly in the blood of the body. A shadowy figure with a hat and smoking a cigarette looks on at the scene.
Poster for Cambridge Impronauts at Edinburgh Fringe 2023 Scattered across the posters are stars, planets, hearts reading "luv u" and a banana peel. A person in a spacesuit picks one of the stars.
Poster for Once Upon A Whim: An improvised fairy-tale. The Impronauts helmet has turned into a spooky witch's house , with a wooden door and a makeshift chimney. In front and behind the house are shadows of various fairy-tale characters, including a wizard, a unicorn, and a dragon.
