The Sparrow Men (Marcus Willis and Andy Balloch) explore the lives of real characters, in this hour-long, entirely improvised, two-man comedic play.

Starting with only two chairs and two Sparrow Men onstage, this totally unique, never-to-be-repeated experience springs to life each night with a single suggestion from the audience. With no sets and no props, this style of contemporary theatre fluctuates between comedic, sentimental, light-hearted and dramatic.

Debuting their first ever full-length performance in Midsumma Festival 2015, The Sparrow Men return as Melbourne’s favourite fast-paced comedy duo.

Marcus and Andy both trained at the world famous iO Theatre in Chicago, where the likes of Mike Myers, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler studied and performed. They have a monthly residency, teach, and coach with the largest Chicago-style, improvised theatre company in the Southern Hemisphere: The Improv Conspiracy.
