Barcelona Impro Show: English Comedy & Musical Improv

The Barcelona Impro Show brings a four-day celebration of improvised comedy and musical theatre to the city, with performances entirely in English. International troupes from Italy, Germany, the USA, the Netherlands, Australia, and Spain take the stage, each offering a unique spin on the art of making it up on the spot. From the high-energy, audience-driven musicals of Barcelona Improv Group to the solo storytelling of Stacey Smith, the programme promises a diverse range of styles and formats.

Audiences can expect to be part of the action, as many shows are built around suggestions from the crowd. La Gang from Italy will sing their way through a story chosen by the audience, while Big Teeth from the USA crafts a contemporary fairytale with nods to classic musicals. Impromptunes from Australia brings their critically acclaimed completely improvised musical, and The Shakedown from Germany weaves suggestions into a montage of scenes and songs. The Commiseration Cabaret offers a more intimate evening, turning audience woes into sultry musical numbers.

With a mix of established troupes and fresh voices, the Barcelona Impro Show is a vibrant addition to the city's cultural scene.
