Melbourne comedy troupe The Improv Conspiracy present a brilliantly manic and invigorating R-rated roller-coaster ride with Improv Against Humanity, combining crudity, poignancy and farce to tear down the very fabric of society.

Based on the popular card game Cards Against Humanity where black cards with ordinary questions are picked at random and white cards can be used to answer these questions in ridiculous ways, seven improvisational comedians take four of these pairs and turn them into about an hour of hilarious and off the wall comedy.

As is to be expected with live and on-the-spot comedy, not every joke or scene hits its mark, but the show moves at such a rapid pace that the audience gets caught up and time rushes by. Each of the comedians have their own unique style which blend together perfectly, and they know exactly how long a joke should go for. Using the Cards Against Humanity rather than suggestions from the audience as impetus for the show is innovative, sets them apart from other improv groups playing around town, and makes their talent even more impressive as they expand these predicaments to preposterous levels.

If you have never seen improv comedy done live, The Improv Conspiracy is a great starting place.

Improv Against Humanity is on at The Improv Conspiracy for one final show tonight at 9:00pm. Several performers are also presenting their solo shows at the Improv Conspiracy, including Big Strong Boy for a final show tonight at 8:00pm, Bits of Us from 26 September – 3 October at 8:15pm and 9:15pm and 3 Mad Rituals until 3 October at 9:00 pm.
