ImproVocative

"From the first moment you enter the venue, ImproVocative is a feast for the senses! The door staff were friendly and efficient. The bar staff at Outlore had put together a variety of wonderful cocktails - highly recommend the Pornstar - alongside your usual suspects, so there was really something for everyone. The hosts and all the performers were spectacular! I've been to one of their previous shows at Armchair and I'll most certainly attend all shows for the remainder of the year. If you're looking to be dazzled by the art form that is burlesque, ensure this is a fixture on your calendar! "
