News: Comedians Join Marathon Improv Night(s)

Some of the comedy circuit's most innovative performers have joined the line-up of the Hoopla Improv Marathon.

Over 200 performers will be taking part in the 50-hour non-stop show at the Miller Pub near London Bridge from 7pm on Friday 20th October to 10pm on Sunday 22nd October 

The comedians taking part include Radu Isac, Don Biswas, Athena Kugblenu, Evelyn Mok and Lewis Schaffer, who will perform between 5pm & 7pm on Oct 21. Then on Oct 22 between 4pm & 6pm Bec Hill, Dan Antopolski and more will be gigging.
