Improbotics: Artificial Intelligence – Greater Manchester Fringe

BUY TICKETS

Since 2016, award-winning Improbotics has brought robots to stages worldwide! In this brand new science comedy show, improvisers must keep up as state-of-the-art artificial intelligence takes over! Improvisers are controlled by AI chatbots: the result is an unpredictable work of human-machine hilarity.

‘Groundbreaking work’, ‘high quality comedy theatre’, ‘raises important philosophical questions’ (FringeReview.co.uk, 2022).

This one-hour show has two performances: 8pm on 22 July 2023 and 6pm on 23 July 2023. Tickets here.
