Improbotics

Improbotics is a science comedy show and a live Turing test. An artificial intelligence-based chatbot is performing alongside a human cast, and it tries to pass as human as it sends lines to one of the improvisers via an earpiece. Our hilarious challenge is to attempt to justify, physically and emotionally, AI-generated lines that may make no sense at all.

Improvised TED Talks

Improvised TED Talks: Using slides they haven’t seen and speaking on a topic they get from the audience, Kory Mathewson and Julian Faid of Edmonton’s Rapid Fire Theatre will present totally improvised powerpoint presentations right before your eyes.
