Improv Masala

Give yourself the gift of laughter for Deepavali next week... the Asian Comedy Takeover has far fewer calories than laddoo.

I get to hang out with some pretty cool people Jess Karamjeet Aman Bajaj Premkumar, Sameena Zehra, Chenxu Wang .

Thank you Whanagui-a-Tara Wellington and New Zealand Improv Festival for having us over! We had such a fun show with an incredible audience!
We had homeless Raj meet with Rina - ice-cream-scooper extraordinare - and their love story was helped along and blocked by the richest man in town, the aunty, the immigration officer and the spoiled rich girl! But they managed to get together in the end because of inter generational wealth.

Thanks to Nicolette Hurnen for these fabulous photos!

This awesome cast have given so much for this show! Their time watching the movies, their knees learning the bollywood moves, their comfort levels stepping into a brand new genre! Yay!

And we're done for the year! What a wonderful opening season. Audiences have been amazing - we've loved entertaining all of you and so happy you came to see our show!

Show #4 was a story of an Indian prince trying to be a normal guy in Auckland, his evil uncle plotting to kill him, a double, triple, quadruple secret agent sent to spy on him, nosy nosy neighbours with a crazy dysfunctional family unit, a five time divorcee with a guruji who quoted rap lyrics, a career confused mid life crisis and two matriarchs inventing Indian/Russian fusion food!

So much joy and masala. We hope to see you all again!

Show number 3!
There was the villain who wanted money and shunned love, until she was converted by family love. The heroine who fell so deeply in love as a child that it could not be denied no matter how practical her family wanted her to be! The kings of the shoe business! A perfect bra designed by men who know the female form and psyche better than anyone. The confused new arrival in NZ. The dog psychologist. The traditional father the slightly crazy grandma and Elle1, Elle2 and Elle3 who were the best minions a villain could ask for!

LAST SHOW for this year is on tonight, still a few tickets left :)
