EIIF: Boy, Bye! & The Singu-Hilarity

(Sun 3 Mar: 4:30pm)

Kicking off the Sunday line-up are long-time performers from Edinburgh alongside arguably the freshest and most unusual team on the Ed Improv Fest bill.

Boy, Bye! are a group of Edinburgh-based women doing emotionally intelligent improv that takes a look at the world of modern relationships. Each show starts with a relationship break-up before following one part of a couple to see how their life progresses. Boy, Bye!’s members are also founding members and principle organisers of Edinburgh’s Big Friendly Improv Collective, organising monthly jam nights and regular workshops in the city.

An improv show unlike any other on the Ed Improv Fest line-up - “The Singu-Hilarity” is an improv team comprised entirely of generative AI improvisers. This fully AI team is coached by human improviser Matt Cutler. Their focus is on solid, grounded scene work.

Matt Cutler is a long-time NYC improviser known for being a member of legendary UCB NY teams including Bucky, Monstro and dybbuk, and the Movie team Oscarbait.
