Show four...Paul Merton's Impro Chums

I might as well say it now...this review was always going to be biased.  It has the comedy deity that is Lee Simpson as part of it...enough said!


Another impro show, this time starring three of the CSPs and two regular guests - so again, I KNOW it's going to be a good show as I've been watching these guys perform live for 11 years now...and for 20ish years if we backdate to WLIIA & Terry & Julian!

Games from The Store in London on a CSP night were used for the first half, however the second half changes and has Scenes from a Hat (well, bin) - these are suggestions written down by many audience members whilst in the queue - and Shakespeare.  The latter is a game I wish they did more often at The Store.

Highlights for me were Mike and his Welsh-Irish accent, Richard becoming the middle aged baby man vacuum and Lee and Mike being socks in a washing machine.  Suki deserves honourable mention for her fabulous Michael McIntyre impression!!!

Nice to see them in a bigger venue that previous years I've seen them - if there are still tickets available, get yourself one and go seen them.  Alternatively catch them on tour when they go http://paulmerton.com/improchums.html
