You know what’s better than listening to the radio? Going to the theatre and listening to people pretend to be on the radio!

Radio Show is a brand-new show from celebrated improvised theatre company Improverished. It’s like tuning in to your favourite radio station for an hour, and what they’ve programmed is an improvised radio play, and also it’s live on stage! What could be better! What could be more joyously “Fringe”-y for the Fringe Festival!

Improverished have been called “highly entertaining”, “incredibly silly”, and “charming” by reviewers and were nominated for the illustrious Best Use of Mayonnaise prize at the NZ International Comedy Festival 2021. Born out of the Big Surprise Lockdown of 2021, Radio Show is the culmination of months spent improvising together entirely over Zoom. Improverished have mastered the art of telling a story that can be enjoyed with or without visuals. 

Best known for their improvised Dungeons and Dragons show “Can I Get an Underground Location and a Mythical Creature?”, Improverished love to tell stories in interesting ways. They have sold-out shows at the NZ International Comedy Festival, Auckland Fringe Festival, and Auckland Improv Festival since 2019. They have tackled Choose Your Own Adventure books, fairytales, and high fantasy in the past; and are so excited to be taking on such a classic form of storytelling as the radio drama. Improverished are sure to bring their signature joyfulness to this exciting new format.

This show will be accessible for visually impaired audience members.

Please note: Covid-19 is incredibly disruptive to our performing arts sector, but we can all work together to keep live events happening, and keep performers and audiences safe.

Masks will be required for audience members. If you forget yours, we will have masks available at the venue. We strongly encourage audience members to be up to date with their vaccinations.

Please get in touch if you have any specific accessibility questions, we would love to help you be able to enjoy our show improverishedaotearoa@gmail.com
