Hand Signs “You bring the suggestions, we bring the funny!” Amsterdam-based improv group Pointing at Fingers presents Hand Signs, a fully improvised show! The first half is all about long form improv and will open with a guest act, followed by us - Pointing at Fingers. After a drink (or two) at the bar, the second half will feature a short form jam where anyone who wants to give improv a go can jump on stage (yes, you!). Don’t worry, we’ll have your back and help you shine. And after? Celebration time at the bar (we like to drink…)!

We bring you the unique combination of standup comedy and improv theatre. Which form of art will give you the best humour? Or the magic is to join the forces?

ImproNation is the largest English speaking improv theater community in South Holland. We are not random strangers, we are social, inviting and supportive. Everyone can find their space. For those who are curious about improv theater: it's a magical way to make you creative and be true to yourself. For those with improv experiences, get ready to join the jam! We typically have audience joining the last game.

Every bee's nest there has a queen and workers who work for her, for the community. There seems to be chaos, but each individual has a very specific and important role to play in the hive. Together they form a super-organism, where ego is put aside and everything is done to make the whole perfect. In this format, the stories will be the nests in which the main characters will be the queens and all other elements (music, secondary characters, setting) will act as the workers. Despite the chaos that seems to reign, it will form a coherent whole. You will see the improvisers constantly playing together, miming an element of the scenery, illustrating a simple leaf blowing in the wind, a beating heart, a princess dress or sometimes playing the main character living 1000 adventures. But each one will be important for the coherence, poetry and beauty of the spontaneously created story. They will play together as a superorganism!

Did you know that for 20 years the Netherlands had an improv show on television? The tv format 'De Vloer Op' showed improvised scenes set up by a theatre director and has inspired the Dutch improv landscape ever since. For one night only, 12 talented players from the Netherlands will perform poignant, funny, and heartwarming scenes led by director Laura Doorneweerd-Perry.
