Following sold out dates in Los Angeles, Ben Schwartz is taking Ben Schwartz & Friends on the road, touring across the US before crossing the pond for its first European show this summer. Joined by friends and surprise guests, Schwartz truly breaks open the potential of improv, as every single word is made up on the spot in this exquisitely executed live improv show. With no pre-show rehearsal, the basis of the show is prompted by a brief discussion with an audience member, or two. Schwartz then delves into a charismatic performance, an entire comedy story, created on the spot, with story lines so wild… Ben Schwartz & Friends is a full experience.

Ben Schwartz says: “I am beyond thrilled to bring my long form improv show Ben Schwartz & Friends to London! It'll be the first time I've brought any live show of mine outside of the US & Canada and I can't think of a better city to start it all off in.”
