Description

The Evening of Improvised Comedy is a play by the AD HOC Group, which consists of a dozen or so sketches created live in front of the audience. There is no predefined scenario here – it is the audience who decides on the key issues. Spectators choose the characters which the actors are to play, the places in which the action is to take place, the problems to be faced by the protagonists of the story. This makes each show unique and extraordinary.

The Evenings of Improvised Comedy at the Krakow VARIETE Theatre will take on a new dimension! Each show will feature special guests. We will see on stage actors who cooperate with the VARIETE Theatre and other Polish artists who will face the challenge of improvisation. So far, the AD HOC Group hosted on stage such personalities as Abelard Giza, Joanna Kołaczkowska and Tomasz Majer, Barbara Kurdej-Szatan and Rafał Szatan, as well as Karolina Rucińska and Kacper Ruciński, among others.

The musical part of the show is guaranteed by the Impro Band under the musical direction of Dawid Makosz.

The AD HOC Group was set up in October 2008 as one of the first groups in Poland dealing with theatre and comedy improvisation. The group has both short and long forms of “impro” (i.e. full-size productions) in its repertoire – all of them are created live on stage, without a script, based on the suggestions of the audience and the unlimited imagination of improvisers themselves. Members of the group gained their knowledge and experience in workshops with instructors from the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Austria, Czech Republic, Switzerland and Spain, among others. AD HOC can boast of several hundred hours of performances and improvisation workshops conducted throughout Poland. It is often invited to theatre, cabaret and improvisation festivals. The group’s television experience includes cooperation with Polish Television (TVP), Polsat and Comedy Central. It is the initiator and organiser of ImproFest – the largest comedy improvisation festival in Poland.

Creators: Aneta Stokes, Michał Próchniewicz, Alan Pakosz, Michał Jeffrey Ociepa, Janek Malinowski, Dawid Makosz, Filip Nowak, Tomasz Kamiński, Jan Koźliński.
