Jen Strike of the group explained "The members of the team feel very strongly about supporting our local community. Improv is a community in itself and we wanted to give something back to those that keep resources such as church halls going in these difficult times".

The group specialises in fast paced games similar to those on popular TV programme 'Whose Line Is It Anyway'

Talented Northampton musician, Antony Newby, will also be performing with the group, providing musical accompaniment for the improvised songs.
