The live stage show of the original TV hit, starring 5 of the shows stars!
‘Whose Line’ has enjoyed sell-out runs in major regional cities over the past few years, and is making it’s debut live stage performance in Taipei as part of its 2006 Asian tour.
Five performers will be pitting their wits against YOU, the audience, by playing out scenarios in a style and setting of your choice. The whole show is totally improvised – the only difference is the audience decides what the performers say and sing about!
About “Whose Line is it Anyway?”
Whose Line remained a massive hit in the UK for over a decade and now enjoys the same success in the United States after the show was bought by NBC. The show’s format consists of a team of comedians obliged to sing, dance, twist, shout and employ basically every comic device under the sun through a series of skits based on suggestions from audience members.
About the live stage version
Whose Line absolutely depends on lively audience participation. “Every show is different” says performer Jim Vranch. “Naturally, the better the audience and their suggestions, the better the show is.”
Although the format for the live show will differ from the TV program, the live version offers numerous advantages. Operating outside of the taste and moral constraints of a primetime TV slot, the live show is often considerably more risqué than its small screen version and jokes can often stray into less politically correct territory than mainstream television channels permit!
“When you see a live show, you become part of the process, like a ping-pong game. It’s better live.” Vranch says. “In terms of exportable comedy, the show is a winner… and every show is different, depending on the audience and their suggestions,” he says. “Ex-pat audiences are generally very keen,” says performer Jim Sweeney.
