Since 2016, award-winning Improbotics has brought robots to stages worldwide! They are now back from Edinburgh Fringe 2023 at the Gilded Balloon. In this brand new science comedy show, improvisers must keep up as state-of-the-art artificial intelligence takes over! Improvisers are controlled by AI chatbots: the result is an unpredictable work of human-machine hilarity.

With Support from Waiting for Robo(t)
In the fast-paced modern world of automation and AI assistants, it’s an increasingly common worry that a robot might one day replace you and make you obsolete.
But what if it’s already happening? What if your colleagues, friends, family – even yourself – have already been replaced by synthetic imitators?
Well, worry no more! GC Industries is proud to present this live demonstration of their groundbreaking Voight-Kampff test. Sit back and watch as our trained interrogator puts an unsuspecting suspect under the spotlight and finds out whether they’re as human as they claim to be.
From the joyful idiots that brought you Steves and Wooster and Holy Unauthorised Improv Parody, Batman! comes a new show inspired by that one bit from the beginning of Blade Runner.
