LOW BAR. HIGH ENERGY.

IMPROV.
ANYTHING CAN
HAPPEN HERE.

One of London’s hottest improv acts, The Low Bar makes high-energy comedy shows, hosts welcoming jam nights, and keeps expectations exactly where we like them.

Signature show

Whose Time Is It Anyway?

Our signature show throws us into a new time, place, crisis, and emotional problem we are absolutely not qualified to solve. Loosely inspired by Quantum Leap.

We follow Sam, a time traveller dropped into history to solve urgent problems with very little context. Who convinced the Vikings that helmets needed horns? Was the Trojan Horse just a birthday present gone wrong? And why does every solution somehow create three new problems?

Next date 16 September · 7:30pm · Elgin Marvels, Maida Vale
