The Tenuous Link Productions are back in force, after selling out their shows in 2021 and 2022. The Improv comedy team is taking the stage again with their quick-wit, malleable skills, and inclusive crowd participation style, with their new show: Dropped in it. The one-hour, comedic, improvisational show relies on crowd participation, allowing the audience to select the topic of the show. This branches anywhere from geographical location, the setting and any special relationships between two characters, and so on, and gives the show a great spontaneous feel. Before the topics are selected, and the comedy freestyle begins however, a special guest is introduced onto the stage (it changes each night), who is typically a well-known Australian personality. For our evening’s performance, it was comedian Damian Callinan, who has featured on Skithouse, Spicks & Specks and in the Melbourne Comedy Festival. Damian was sent out of the theatre for twenty minutes or so, while all the topics were decided, only to return as the main character of the show with zero knowledge of what he had walked in to… But the show must go on! As the name of the show suggests, the star of the show is very much, “dropped in it” to play out the established show with a cold start, without getting any explanation from the audience or crew members of what they’ve dropped in on. This made for a very entertaining hour of quick turns, quick cuts to new scenes and ridiculously funny dialogue off the top-of-the-dome. In turn, the cast members seamlessly bounced off each other’s comedic energy, just as well as the audience’s reactions. This show is perfect for ages fifteen years and older, who enjoy wholesome, spontaneous comedy. ‘Dropped In It’ is showing at the air-conditioned Prompt Creative Centre, located in Pirie Street, which is approximately a five-minute walk west from the Garden of Unearthly Delights and Gluttony. The Creative Centre has a bar with card facilities for alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks but be mindful that parking in Pirie Street can be a bit tricky (depending on the time and day) so be sure to plan how you get to and from the venue.
