EIIF: This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things & Regular Job

(Sat 2 Mar: 4:45pm)

Kicking off Saturday with local legends This Is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things and Liverpudlian legends Regular Job.

Together, Charles and Steven are This Is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things. An improv duo from Edinburgh who’ve been performing together since 2015. As a duo they share a love of creative storytelling, emotional grounding and silly stuff. They’ve been making waves at the Edinburgh Fringe, Glasgow International Comedy Festival, Reading Festival, Copenhagen Improv Festival and Reykjavik Improv Festival. So join them as they add the Edinburgh International Improv Festival to that illustrious list.

Liverpool is known for many things… mainly The Beatles. But soon you’ll know it for being the home of Regular Job. The team are a mix of performers whose work life varies from clowning to medicine. Known locally for sell-out shows, the team have been wowing audiences, passing on their knowledge and bringing impressive improv names to the city.
