Improv from IMPROV AGAINST THE MACHINE

Front Room's brand new improv comedy group, Weston Improv (The W.I.) presents 'Improv against the machine'.
Input: One set of prompts from the audience.
Output: Improvised scenes from humans. Scenes written by A.I.
WHO DOES IT BEST, HUMAN OR MACHINE? YOU DECIDE.

With prompts from the audience, first the humans improvise some scenes on the spot and then we use those same prompts to tell Chat GPT to do the same and the humans perform this script in hand. Ridiculous? We think so.

Stand-up from MARK HURMAN. Mark Hurman has won several gong shows, Literally Shepton comedy competition and Standup for Cider. Local boy.
