Flatmates is a live, improvised sitcom about the relationships and everyday lives of a group of flatmates.
Book tickets: https://events.humanitix.com/flatmates-an-improvised-sitcom-27-feb?c=ws
Each performance plays out like a sitcom episode made up on the spot. The same characters return, but nothing is scripted. Every show begins with a brief audience prompt to help shape the characters, then the story unfolds uninterrupted in real time.
Comedy emerges from misunderstandings, shifting loyalties, and the small pressures of shared living, as ordinary moments spiral into something funnier and more revealing.
No audience participation beyond the opening prompt.

About our shows
Impulse Theatre produces a variety of fun and exciting shows. We love to challenge people’s ideas of what improvisation can be, and there’s something for everyone.
Improv can stray into “adult” content sometimes, but we’re good at reining that in when there are younger members in the audience. If in any doubt, please get in touch, or just let us know before the show.

Some of our favourites
- Cracked Mirror is a darkly-funny sci-fi, inspired by shows like Black Mirror and Severance.
- So That Happened is a fun, lively show where we blend hilarious tales and mishaps from our own lives with improvised comedy sketches.
- Flatmates is our hilarious improvised sitcom, and has proven to be a real crowd pleaser. The story revolves around the amusing interactions and chaotic situations that arise among the diverse group of flatmates.
- Strangers is one of our more dramatic (but usually very funny) shows. It feels like watching a really good play. So much so, that we’ve had audience ask us after the show, “Who wrote it?”
- Peregrine V is a full-length improvised sci-fi. It’s loads of crazy sci-fi fun, where the performers don’t know who, or even what, they will be until the show starts.
- Off Book is a full, improvised musical, that follows a continuous story for the length of the show (just like real musicals).
- Living Art is one of our newest shows. It takes inspiration from the work of a local artist, who presents some of their art and we improvise! You’ll see scenes, stories, songs, poems, and more — plus some amazing art!
