Improv Comedy FriYAY — September 2026

Two comedy shows. One ticket. Huge laughs.

This month, we’re joined by two special professional improvisers from Brisbane — Taylor Edwards and Adam O’Sullivan.

The first half is packed with the fast-paced comedy theatre games Gold Coast audiences have come to know and love, where our improvisers turn your suggestions into hilarious scenes on the spot. If you enjoy Whose Line Is It Anyway?, you'll feel right at home!

Then, in the second half, we’re bringing back Blah Blah Blah Improv’s signature long-form show, Small Town Council, where your local Facebook community group posts provides the inspiration.

Before the show, scroll through your neighbourhood Facebook group and find a post that’s mundane, funny, whingey, petty, bizarre, or just VERY idiosyncratic to your town. Submit it before the show and it could become part of the agenda at our completely improvised town council meeting.

Parking disputes. Lost dogs. Suspicious neighbours. Bin dramas. Local wildlife. That person who wants to know why there was a helicopter flying overhead at 2am.

Our improvisers take the posts and bring the people, relationships, and ridiculous small-town shenanigans behind them to life — while you, the townspeople, might even be called upon to help council find a solution.

Family-friendly. The only comedy night on the Gold Coast where you can bring the kids AND have an alcoholic beverage!

Grab a drink, enjoy dinner, and settle in for two completely different comedy experiences in one show. This show usually sells out, so book early!

About the special guests

Taylor Edwards co-founded Big Fork Theatre, Brisbane’s largest improv company, and spent nine years as its co-director. She’s performed improv and sketch at some of Australia’s biggest comedy festivals, including Brisbane Comedy Festival, Sydney Comedy Festival, Adelaide Fringe, Melbourne International Comedy Festival, and Gold Coast Laughs Festival. Her improv adventures have also taken her across Australia, New Zealand, Thailand, and New York, and she trained at Chicago’s legendary iO Theater.

Adam O’Sullivan started in stand-up before making the leap into improv and has since become an in-demand performer and teacher, performing across Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, and the Philippines. When it comes to comedy, he pretty much does the lot — short-form improv, long-form improv, musical improv, AND stand-up.
