Having a laugh at Melbourne Public in South Wharf just got easier with the return of a Very Public Punchline Comedy Series with a huge line up of Australia's best Comedians.
This August knock off with a Victoria Bitter and laugh at Melbourne Public.
Throw five improvisers on a stage with a live gorilla and you get Impro Melbourne's latest offering, Gorilla Theatre !
Every Sunday from 7.30pm at The Space, performers will fight for your affections to win themselves bananas!
The audience reward and penalise each improviser as they face off as directors, each determined to destroy unworthy theatre by replacing the commonplace with something electrifying, impulsive and unforgettable. They have to fight for their artistic vision and ultimately win you, the audience over! And did we mention the live gorilla can come into play at any time?
