Outside Joke: The Improvised Musical

Outside Joke—Gas Station Arts Centre

Outside Joke’s improv efforts continue to bear fruit in this year’s Fringe entry titled The Improvised Musical, as the entry I saw (of course, with improv, every show is different) dealt with plants and gardening, and how they intersect with a secret government plot that also involved Area 51. The improvised lines involved green houses, planting seeds, glass doors, growing in people’s mouths, slow-growing succulents, and, strangely, a clarinet that sounded like a saxophone. This troupe’s form is crafty and their imagination is impeccable, so get some dirt under your fingernails and check out their show.
