Ōtepoti Fringe presents 100 Things
100 Things is the craziest new improv show in Tāmaki Makaurau, and it's coming down to Ōtepoti for the first time ever!
Can these improv BFF's set the Guinness World Record for most audience suggestions used per minute in an improv show?
In this improvised comedy spectacular, three great friends and talented improvisors will gather 100 audience suggestions (yeah that's right, one hundred suggestions) and then incorporate every single one of them into the 90 minute show. At least, that's the goal! Will they achieve it? Come along and find out! If they make it, they'll set two new Guiness World Records for most ask-fors used per minute in an improv show. How's that for an original world record category?!
Performed by Rebecca Mary Gwendolon, Izzy Renton and Frankie Browne; three improvisor besties who are always hearing what great chemistry they have together, so they decided to put it to the ultimate test.
"[Mary Gwendolon] and Browne immediately form a natural rapport as a dynamic double act with excellent comedic timing." - Theatrescenes
"Gwendolon and Renton ... have an excellent rapport. Over the course of the next sixty minutes, comical and wholesome shenanigans ensue, which regularly have the audience raucous with laughter." - Red Raven
As winners of the Late Night Knife Fight improv showdown in Tāmaki Makaurau, 100 Things received professional coaching to develop their original 15 minute show into a 30 minute and then 90 minute show. You'll be seeing the final version after all that testing and development has already happened up in Auckland. Lucky you!
Imagine if the TV show Taskmaster had a baby with the Middleditch and Schwartz Netflix improv comedy special ... that's kind of what 100 Things is like. Our task is to take one hundred things and turn them into one story.
Be a part of history and get a ticket to see the most audience suggestions ever used in an improv show.*
