Hi all!

This an update from David Pustansky, company director for Sparky Buddy Productions. What a year 2019 has been! It's been so busy in fact, that I've just noticed that I've not put updates on this section of the site almost at all, all year. As a lot of you will know, that isn't because there hasn't been company news, as there has been constant things happening.

Instead focus has been put into all of the projects that have been produced as it's been our busiest year ever. Extreme Improv has exploded in a big way on the comedy circuit, and we've been producing more videos, podcasts and live shows then ever before.

We'll have lots more updates for our plans for 2020 in the coming weeks as it's shaping up to be even more jam packed then this year, and we'll be adding lots of new ideas to the mix as well!

For all the latest news and updates make sure you subscribe to our newsletters, follow us on social media for both Sparky Buddy Productions and Extreme Improv - we're on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Tik Tok, YouTube and Twitch, and our Podcasts are available on all major Podcast platforms such as iTunes, Google Play, Alexa, Spotify, Podbean, Spreaker and more!

Watch this space as Sparky Buddy Productions will have its biggest year ever in 2019!

Before 2018 is out we're going to announce many new projects for 2019. This will include many new live shows from Extreme Improv, some brand new scripted live shows, and lots and lots of digital projects and films!

​

After a year of shows, workshops and other weird goodness, Extreme Championship Improv has grown to be a big enough entity to get it's own webspace. You can now visit www.extremeimprov.co.uk to find out all the latest news on the Extreme Improv shows, cast members and updates.

As well as it's own website you can find dedicated Extreme Improv Facebook, Instagram and Twitter pages, all of which are linked from the main ExtremeImprov.co.uk page!

Extreme Championship Improv played at the Camden Comedy club to great audience feedback and tons of laughs during it's run from Sunday August 20th - Wednesday August 23rd.

The show features a roster of 11 performers across the 4 nights, and at the end of each night we were left with a new Extreme Improv Champion. Sparky Buddy Productions would like to extend a huge thanks to all our cast members, the Camden Comedy Club, the organisers at the Camden Fringe and everyone else who helped, as well, of course as all the audience members who came and laughed at the funny funny cast!

One thing from this point on is certain and that is that Extreme Championship Improv will return in the not too distant future! Watch this space!
