Cambridge
Impronauts
Who are we?
The Cambridge Impronauts are the biggest and oldest Improvised Comedy troupe in Cambridge (Since 2003), and our members are a mixture of students from both universities, and locals. We love Improv because we get to create new stories, situations, emotions, and reactions every time we step on stage. Audiences love it because they get to help create something with their suggestions, and they know they’ve seen a genuinely unique show!
We create shows based on sketches and games, and also entire improvised plays. See Past Shows for an overview.
We also run free weekly Open Workshops for students and locals alike during term time. Want to get involved with improv and learn some skills, make friends and have a laugh? Come along!
Would you like us to create a show for your event? Send us a message! We perform at:
- May balls
- freshers’ shows
- garden parties
- events and more
We can also perform for free at welfare and charity events!

Recent shows
Rushed Hour
Powerful criminals are orchestrating a sinister plot against the city. Can two rival cops put aside their differences and band together to save the day?
The Cambridge Impronauts invite you to this hour-long improvised buddy-cop performance, inspired by classics such Rush Hour, Lethal Weapon and Starsky & Hutch. We will be adapting your suggestions and prompts into an action-packed mystery full of drama, suspense, twists, turns, laughs, catchphrases, betrayals and all culminating in a finale where two police officers could form a friendship stronger than any conspiracy, super-weapon, or criminal mastermind plan.
Get involved - Student Workshops!
