Shellshock! presents yet another night of free improvised comedy. With no rehearsals, no script, and very little clue indeed, the laughs are guaranteed. Friends and especially enemies, join us to give suggestions and celebrate the end of exams – finally. It’s comedy as you – and we – have never seen it before. Come along and bring your friends!

Shellshock! Improvised Comedy, Durham’s premier improv comedy group, presents their after exams celebration. The show is entirely unscripted and made up on the spot – no two shows are ever the same. Come along for an evening of laughter as you give prompts and suggestions to help shape every scene!

As the show is improvised, we can’t predict the content exactly. However, we always strive to avoid heavy topics and keep our shows light. There will be audience participation and possibly some strong language.
