Still packing them in after eight years, Beijing Improv English Players continue to make us scream with laughter as they send up life, the universe and everything with quick-fire games, long-form scenes and silly situations. Unscripted, unrestricted and unrepeatable, this diverse team of girls and boys from all over the world create hilarious sketches based entirely on audience suggestions. All proceeds from Beijing Improv performances go to support Hua Dan NGO, a local nonprofit who empower migrant families across China through theatrical workshops. Whether a lifelong Beijinger or just in town for one night, there's no better bang for your comedy buck in town.
