A twist of improv games and stand-up comedy
For the first night of Boho’s double-whammy of Improv shows at the Cumby, Boho Arts gives the stage over to a brand-new improv ensemble born from the Boho community - Twister.
In the first half, the players bring you their new format - standup into scenes! Twister’s standup comedians Andrei Iulian Pintea, Ash de Wilde and Matt Ward perform their material, and the Twister ensemble improvises scenes inspired by their sets.
In the second half, MC Matt Ward guides the players through a series of twisted improv games, influenced by the Twister Wheel and your timely suggestions.
Join us again at the Cumby tomorrow night for Improv Club, with loads more improv, more players and an open improv jam, all inspired from audience suggestions.

The Cumberland is a heritage building and only partially accessible. The first-floor venue is accessible via a ramp at the rear. We're sorry the toilets are in the small pub downstairs which don't include wheelchair accessible toilet facilities. Note - it is due to so few accessible venues in Newcastle that we are opening a new venue - the Boho Hub in 2027 that will be accessible.

The venue is an old historic pub. Main access is through the front of the pub, then the snug on the right, and up the stairs at the rear. There is a ramp to the left-hand side of the building providing partial access for wheelchair users, but unfortunately, there are no wheelchair-accessible toilets in the building. The nearest wheelchair-accessible toilet is across the road in Morrisons which is open until 10pm.
