Brought to you by the comedy geniuses at On the Go Improv, Maestro is an audience-driven experience like no other.

Bringing together raw talent from Adelaide’s newest and brightest improvisational comedians, Maestro’s improvised games let the crowd decide who’s the best on their feet, and who flops under the pressure.

Through several brilliant rounds of audience and judge decided scenarios, the improv “players” take everything in their stride and turn it into gold.

The judges and host bring vibrant energy, and Greg the pianist knows just how to set the mood.

From made up songs about hedge trimming, to two-line vocabs in a bowling alley,

you’ll laugh at the wicked ideas from the comedians, and maybe even cry if they’re eliminated (I’m looking at you #7).

The enthusiasm from all on stage is contagious, a little quirky and questionable at times, but nonetheless, an experience not to be missed.
