Swipe Night Improv July with Halima, The Krayzies, Lobster Tango and a jam!
About this Event
Improv comedy from your hosts Swipe Right, three guest acts we're excited about and a jam at which everyone is welcome. All for free at the excellent Shoreditch Balls - which also has golf, pizza and table football - to which the nearest Tube is Old Street.
Doors 7.45pm, show 8-10pm with an interval about halfway through.
Tickets are free and reservable right here, and this is our line-up for July:
The Krayzies
Meet the Krayzies. A gangster story made up entirely on the spot.
Inspired by a story from a member of the audience, the Krayzies reimagine it the only way they know how. This gang of hard nuts are out for revenge, bringing the whole family with them. Expect rivalry, dodgy deadlines and out right silliness.
Halima
Halima Habil is a Romanian-Moroccan, Gaulier-trained clown and drag king. She qualified at Sketch Off quarters and Man Up 2025, she performed at the Edinburgh Fringe, Brighton Fringe and Camden festival and she won the duck award 3 times. She has been called:
"Incredibly hilarious, in so many unexpected ways“ (Edfringe reviews 2025)
"Absurd comedy, lighthearted. Romania-core at its finest“
"Really impressive, intriguing and strange, compelling and funny“.
Lobster Tango
Lobster Tango are an energetic, cross-Atlantic improv troupe vying for a place in your heart. Winners of the 2026 London Improv Festival Competition, Lobster Tango blends fast, fearless improv with theatrical flair. They turn audience suggestions into a cascade of characters, scenes, and beautifully ridiculous moments. Bring an idea and see what happens.
Swipe Right
Your hosts! We perform our show Something Just Happened, Wombat Combat, or possibly something else - either way, it's likely to feature the relationships you want to see, and the relationships you may rather you hadn't.
The Jam!
Once described as 'the best improv jam in the south of England' our jam is typically made up of two or three person scenes. For your inspiration in these, you can either take an emotion from our patented 'emotometer' or receive whimsical words from a sweet treat.
It's a supportive, warm space for performers and audience members alike to jam and, usually, everyone who puts their name in gets a turn. Any questions, come find one of us (Andy, Carly, Robin and Rosie) on the night and just ask - if you want to be on stage, we'd love to have you there!
