The Improv Bandits are an improvisational theatre group in Auckland, New Zealand. They have performed with renowned improvisors Wayne Brady and Colin Mochrie, as well as voice actor Dan Castellaneta.[1] The Improv Bandits were formed by Wade Jackson, and have been described in the New Zealand Herald as "one of New Zealand's most successful comedy ventures".[2]

History[edit]

Formed in 1997, the group initially performed at the Silo Theatre. They subsequently established and performed at their own theatre, the Covert Theatre, until it closed in 2005.[3]

To celebrate their twentieth anniversary in 2017, the group performed a show with renowned Whose Line Is It Anyway? improvisor Colin Mochrie.[4]
