Improvised Comedy is a new venture for Ponteland Repertory society and through a series of immersive workshops founding members Suzie Neve and Jason Long and the ‘DisReputables,’ have delivered their debut show in Ponteland Memorial Hall in September followed by a second show in February in Heddon-on-the-Wall, and we are very much looking forward to performing in TapYard Studios in Hoults Yard, Ouseburn on October 12th.
The shows in September and February showcased the talent of ‘DisReputables’ and brought improv into the Ponteland and wider community. As the show hosts, Suzie & Jason guide the audience through the game format and got suggestions from the crowd. It’s a very interactive show, and each performance is an exclusive ‘one off’ never to be repeated again!
Suzie explains, “This is another string to our bow. As an Amateur Dramatic society we act, sing, and now offer an unscripted comedy performance. After the first show we have expanded into more game formats and worked on the chemistry of the players as well as the look and feel of the show, and as the input comes from the audience we have to be ‘ready for everything.’”
Jason says, “I am really looking forward to performing in Ouseburn and TapYard Studios. It’s a great venue, a totally new audience, and has a massive bar with the drinks QR code on every table. It’s going to be epic and so much fun.”
