Overview

“This magnetic performer’s great improv shows always prove a hit” – Evening Standard

Star of Taskmaster, Ghosts and The Great British Sewing Bee, Kiell Smith-Bynoe is heading out on tour with an all–star cast of comedians and some very special guests to turn stories from the audience into completely improvised comedy scenes.

Fresh from sold-out shows in Edinburgh, London and Brighton, Kool Story Bro is the unmissable improvised comedy show that spins unscripted sketches out of the audience’s weirdest and wildest anecdotes. Together with a surprise celebrity host, these “world-class improvisers” (Corr Blimey) are about to create a totally unique and utterly ridiculous show from scratch.

Kiell will be joined by members of Kool Story Bro’s rotating cast of improvisers, including Starstruck favourites Lola-Rose Maxwell and Nic Sampson, Afterlife and Austentatious’s Graham Dickson, Big Boys’ Robert Gilbert, Mock The Week’s Emily Lloyd-Saini, Shadow and Bone’s Anna Leong Brophy, Taskmaster’s Emma Sidi. Also joining Kiell are Brendan Murphy, Lola-Rose Maxwell and Anna Leong Brophy. Line up subject to change.

Previous special guest hosts have included Lily Allen, Jamie Demetriou, Mo Gilligan, Charlotte Ritchie, Mathew Baynton, Guz Khan, and Munya Chawawa.
