20h show Gang of Stand-Ups
A gang of stand-ups will take the stage under the direction of Timmy Guiney!
21h show The Mullet from the mind of Ryan Miller
The Mullet is, in essence, a game-driven shortform set that morphs into a longform exploratory improv show. It's short in the front and long in the back, y'see. The beloved hairdo we all want to rock, is the inspiration for this improvised show: a crew of adept players slaying shortform AND exploring imaginative morphing longform sets. Business in the front. Party in the back.
22h show Cosmosis & U-Wing
COSMOSIS is a wacky meditation on cosmic balance and imbalance—Isaac Simon's solo improvised science fiction epic inspired by post-rock tunes and nerdy film scores (and decades of conversing with the void).
U-Wing: The changing climate might be bad for butterflies, but the butterfly effect continues to thrive. Three ostensibly unrelated conversations are more related in past present and future than you think. U-Wing shows how everything is connected. Brought to you by Cliffs of Dover.

ONE EVENING, TWO SHOWS
Match d’impro
The most famous and successful French improvised show is coming to Amsterdam! In a ruthless competition, two teams are facing each other to offer the best of what they have on stage. Under the sharp eye of the referee, the audience will have the power to vote at the end of each scene for one or the other player, and ultimately to determine which team will be crowned champion of the night!
Just Play, by Anananas & Pampamplemousse
Just Play is a freeform show, full of energy and variations, in which the inspiration will come from objects picked in the audience, the music, the lights, the bodies, and everything that might happen in the moment.
After almost 10 years of international travels, our three French goofballs are coming back to Amsterdam to showcase their unique and energetic improvised act.
The evening will feature two shows: a Match d’impro with an exceptional selection of local and international talents, and Just Play, the unique French freeform performed by Cédric Marschal, Dan Seyfried and Gael Doorneweerd-Perry.
