Two bold teams ready to go big! Branded Silk bring a fast, chaotic, satirical voice from an unapologetically black perspective.
They say they’re looking to corrupt Europe, and we’re more than happy to let them! Squeaky Bum Time is one of the most fun shows in Scotland, bringing together the cream of Glasgow improvising talent for a mashup of crowd engagement and premise-pulling hilarity.
You can catch Squeaky Bum Time year round performing their 5-star show monthly in Glasgow at Blackfriars of Bell Street.
This indie troupe of improv nerds has been making a name for themselves filling Sunday afternoons with laughter with their bold comedy.
Branded Silk from New York City is the blackest, fastest, dumbest improv team on the planet bringing some much-needed flavor to improv.
They've headlined festivals across the United States and Canada. A rare chance to catch them in the UK!
