We had such fun at the Oslo Impro Festival! We hope our audience enjoyed our show as much as we did!!! Putting two people who don't want to spend time together in the same space feels cruel, but makes for great theatre! That's our format, The Waiting Game!

Pairentheses look forward to performing The Waiting Game again, and we love to travel, so if you'd like to invite us, we'll be happy to come along!

Thanks to Pravin for the amazing photos!!!

Had an awesome show last night at the Birmingham Improv Festival !

Played many stories covering various themes, including loneliness, awkwardness, fear, death, holidays in Spain, the European Commission's ethics training (!) and s*x... maybe too many s*xual advances... 😅😆

Thanks again to Jon Trevor for inviting us to play, and thanks to all the team for all the help and support!

Looking forward to the rest of the festival!

Pairentheses performed in Malta yesterday under the Teatru Manoel Learning Programme: TOI TOI and Improvizza collaboration to bring improv to a new audience.

We once again performed our format Shades of Emotion, this time emotions were inspired by the colour yellow, which led us down a sometimes playful, sometimes dark path.

Can't wait to see what the next one will bring!
