No Scripts Given: An Improvised Comedy

  • Comedy
  • Theatre

Watch some of Melbourne's finest improvisers turn their tragic tales into an improvised comedy at No Scripts Given.

When life gives you lemons (rubbish times). Make lemonade (improv), right?

Sometimes the most painful things make for the funniest stories. As Charlie Chaplin once said, moments which seem difficult up close can, with a bit of distance, reveal a lighter more humorous side. So watch these performers take the stage and find the humorous side in all of the ways you'd least expect!

Cry, laugh and collectively heal together... because there's no better medicine than lemonade.

No two shows will be the same.
