Seoul City Improv (SCI) will present a special show in memory of former member Matt Robinson who passed away on July 16 following complications of surgery.
The comedy group in the style of “Whose Line Is It Anyway?” will celebrate three great years of hilarity and fun on Saturday Aug. 21 at Spazio Luce Theater, Itaewon (across from the Rocky Mountain Tavern) commencing 8 p.m.
SCI will host a grand, blowout show featuring all the best games and all the best performers, plus prizes for audience members.
Games will include crowd favorites, such as What?, Hitchhiker, Small Town and Freeze, plus newer additions, Pillars and Deaf Replay.
The group was founded by Margaret Whittum, an American actor/director working in Seoul in July 2007. The first preview show was at the Big Electric Cat in Itaewon. Since then, SCI has hosted nearly 40 shows in Haebangchon, Itaewon and Hongdae. Nearly 50 performers have graced the SCI stage, and scores more have come to participate in rehearsals, which are open to all.
This show will be dedicated to the memory of Matt Robinson who was a dedicated member of SCI for two years and had to return to the United States last year due to health problems. He passed away on July 16th in Cleveland, Ohio at the age of 31. The box office money after costs will be donated to his family, who has had to deal with very high medical bills.
Tickets are 10,000 won. No advance reservations. House opens at 7:30 p.m.
