EIIF: Yer Da & GLB

(Fri 1 Mar: 7:15pm)

A high quality line-up with a double bill of improv stalwarts from Glasgow and Berlin. Catch these two highly rated teams as they take to the EIIF stage.

Yer Da have been performing long form improv comedy together online during the pandemic and offline in person ever since. Their list of teachers and coaches includes some of the most respected improvisers in the world. Members of the team have guested on legendary podcast improv4humans. Together they have been raising the improv game in Scotland, and bringing everyone who wants it, along for the ride.

Berlin’s longest running English-language longform team, GLB perform regularly at their home theatre Comedy Café Berlin. GLB is one of the first teams to bring North American-style longform improv to the German Hauptstadt. They’ve performed everywhere from claustrophobic basement bars to the massive Del Close Marathon in New York City.
