Improv Against Humanity
What happens when you cross the hottest, rudest party game of the last decade with the sharpest minds that the Melbourne Improv scene have to offer? You get Improv Against Humanity - improv for horrible people.
Armed with what can be at best described as a politically incorrect card game and at worse an offensively brilliant premise, the cast are truly at the whim and fancy of the audience - you dictate the show that you want to see. This is high stakes improvisation where the line will not only be walked but trampled and curb-stomped. Watch as the cast use their improvisational know-how to explore the insane propositions that the card game and audience come up with.
Throughout the first half of the show this diverse and talented cast of performers will enact scenes inspired by audience suggestion and the internationally acclaimed game “Cards Against Humanity.” The second half of the show combines the several rounds and explores the insane world that has been created in the first half. Every show will be different, unique and an exciting experience for audience and performer - nothing is planned in advance, everything is made up as you see it.

Feedback/Comments
They tried hard and the concept has merit but many of the jokes fell short and there's an art in knowing when to end a scene. Some great acting there but unfortunately a little wasted.
Patchy, some of the improv troupe didn't aim that high, but then, the card game that inspired the show seems to rely a lot on penises. If you aren't in to that kind of humour, or haven't gushed over improv in the past, this might not be a show to challenge your opinion or intellect.
A bit slow in starting. The concept delivery needs a bit of work to get across to the audience. 15-20 mins into the show before the improv started. They got better as the show went on and they all warmed up to it. Great towards the end as the scenarios got weirder and weirder. Some really good laughs.
