English wit, French comedy

English Impro night at the Cammionneur
A rather usual event is taking place this Friday (6th Jan) in Strasbourg and it is one that should interest all Anglophones in the Alsace-Baden region; because Inédit Théâtre will be presenting their first ever English Impro-comedy show at the Cammionneur.
“On a naked stage, two (French) comedians and a musician, using suggestions from the audience, create scenes to entertain and amuse. Come and taste this new impro show – where French charm meets English wit.”
The question is though, will these French performers be able to pull off a show entirely in English?
Well, actress and comedienne Antonia de Rendinger is a local comic sensation, having successfully toured her one woman show around France since 2003, and regularly appearing on TV comedy sketch shows on TF1 and France4. Her stage partner for the show Marko Mayerl, artistic director of Inédit Théâtre, has also been successfully treading the boards since 1993, both locally and internationally, as a master and innovator of the impro artform. He regularly performs in English too. They are accompanied by talented Chilean musician Cristián Vergara, also of Inédit Théâtre, who has amazed audiences with his virtuosity on an array of instruments for several years.
So the chances are it will be top-drawer entertainment! There will be three chances to see the show over the coming months and it will, of course, be different every time.
Starts 9:30 pm | 6th january, 9th march and 11th may | CAMMIONNEUR, rue Wodli, 67000 Strasbourg; Call 03 88 32 29 24 to reserve a seat.
