Courtyard Koota and Malhar Laugh Club (MLC) in association with ImproWISE presents a new format, Improv comedy.
Improvisation or Improv is a form of live theatre, often comedy, that is unscripted, unplanned, and created spontaneously by the performers.
The plot, characters, and dialogue of a game, scene, or story are made up in the moment. Often improvisers will take a suggestion from the audience, or draw on some other source of inspiration to get started.
ImproWise is an Improvisational Comedy Ensemble created & performed by four of the best comic talents in the country:
Sonu Venugopal, also known lovingly as her popular online character Baaju Mani Kaaku, a locally loved and famous Kannada stand-up comic, wins the heart of our audience members by just being, well, herself! A new mom, talented content creator, stand-up comedian, improviser, and overall rockstar, Sonu shines in our ImproWISE cohort.
