One ticket, two shows - our Festival Double Headers give you twice the improv and twice the awesome!
Part one: Question Time with the Minister for Everything
Neil Miller, Brendan West, Brenton Hodgson, Ali Little, Nina Hogg
Come and put your topical questions to our unbalanced political panel before casting Your Vote 2020. Featuring the ubiquitous Minister for Everything and other non-expert panelists engaging in a battle of wits. This promises to be an hilarious, irreverent, and utterly irrelevant show. No stone will be left unturned nor personality defect hidden in the unrelenting pursuit of their truth.
We are a disparate group of five Wellington improvisers coming together for this one-off special.
Part two: Doom & Bloom's Terrifying Formless Rollercoaster
Brendan "Monty" West & Ben Zolno
What happens when two experienced improvisors known for their precision and tight formats throw every safety rail into the bin, every improv "rule" out the window, leaving them with only each other, a desire to make sense, and a profound attempt at improv masochism? Find out in this show – and this show only – where absolutely anything goes.
Ben Zolno and Brendan “Monty” West aren’t afraid of the Terrifying Formless Rollercoaster, whether it means thirty minutes of increasingly deep, introspective dive into character, or Broadway song, alternate universes, and disassembly and revelation.
All they can promise is will be unexpected. Join them for magic in the making.
Doom & Bloom have each been performing improv for a decade or two, and performing as a duet for nearly two years.
