Three incredible acts.

SOUND OFF! The Impro Duo BEMME&MELANGE from Vienna set out on a new adventure: In Sound off! they enter a world in which spoken language doesn't matter. Completely without words the two performers, Ursula Anna Baumgartner and Anne Rab, immerse themselves in an atmosphere of emotional sounds and step into the unknown for a long-form experience. Get ready for this exciting experiment inspired by audience suggestion, as they ride a rollercoaster of improvised emotion and commotion where only one thing is certain: nothing will be spoken but lots will be said.

THE NEWLYWEDS are your new favourite married improvisers all the way from Melbourne, Australia.

Eleanor is an actor, Marcel is a stand-up comedian; together they are an improv powerhouse. They are committed both their marriage and creating world-class theatre made-up-on-the-spot. Do not come expecting a romantic affair just because of their nuptials. The typical Newlyweds show features action, heartbreak, adventure, massive amounts of characters, and a healthy amount of hilarity.

The Newlyweds have been performing together since 2018. They have toured their show to the USA, New Zealand, and all around Australia.

"I haven’t seen an improvised comedy show that is as consistently funny, surprising and skilful as The Newlyweds. Their ability to craft a narrative punctuated with BIG BIG laughs from almost nothing is masterful!" - Oliver Coleman (Most Outstanding Show Nominee, Melbourne International Comedy Festival)
