Hoopla: Impropera! and Whoop Ass!
Saturday, 11 April 2026
19:45 - 22:00
Part of Hoopla's 20th Anniversary Improv Festival!
IMPROPERA!
An improvised opera, made up on the spot, with the help of audience suggestions along the way.
Featuring Comedy Store Player and Hoopla teacher Niall Ashdown!
With hugely successful shows in London's West End, at the Edinburgh Fringe and across Europe, Impropera have an international reputation for their unique mix of virtuoso musicianship, agile wit and ingenious storytelling.
Aardvarks and arias. Tragedy and profanity. Impropera can make a musical production about absolutely anything. With a bit of help from the audience in the way of suggested phrases, words or scenarios, Impropera draws you into their world of diverse characters, all sung with profound emotional commitment and comedic verve.
"Rising to the audience's every challenge, the company quickly weave a plot of brilliant ingenuity, embroider it with musical parody and bring wonder and joy to all." - The Sunday Times.
"The perfect operatic pick me up." - The Independent.
"It's a hugely entertaining musical show…riotously good fun." - The Telegraph.
"Indescribably Funny. Opera is long overdue this improvisational going-over - especially when it is done with the love and care of impopera." - The Wall Street Journal.
"Beware you can get addicted to Impopera." - BBC Radio 3.
