Company History
The company was founded by Artistic Director and CEO David Pustansky in 2010. In it's initial form, the company was called 'The ImProDigies Theatre Company' and it's work focused entirely on performing improvised theatre shows.
Since 2013 the company has greatly expanded the include scripted projects, and recorded works. At this point the name 'ImProDigies Theatre Company' no longer represented the work of the company as it's new projects were no longer just improv or just theatre.
The name Sparky Buddy Productions was chosen to be named after two of David Pustansky's pets - Sparky the budgie, and Buddy the King Charles Cavalier Spaniel. David liked that the company name had a family connection, and was even more pleased that the phrase 'sparky buddy' had the definition of 'lively and high spirited friend'. Sparky Buddy Productions endeavours to embody the spirit of being a lively and high spirited friend within the entertainment industry and hopes that our audiences, and collaborators also think this.
In 2014 the company recieved Arts Council funding to create an anthology of short films. These included the English Civil War animated film The Battle Of Aylesbury, the thriller Scratch, the comedies Last Man Standing and The Box, and the drama Sticks and Stones.
In 2017 Sparky Buddy Productions returned it to roots of improvised theatre with the creation of the 'Extreme Improv' brand. This has seen the company create many new improvised theatre shows which has rapidly grown and now includes international touring, podcasts, online video series and merchendise.
As of 2020, Sparky Buddy Productions is continuing to expand into new areas. The Extreme Improv Comedy Show will host it's first festival, has launched a Podcast network including shows on themes such as professional wrestling, video games, movies and more. Other projects currently in development include more animated films and scripted theatre shows and online content.
