Making their debut in Dublin, meet Texan Improv troupe, 'PGraph'
Since their premier in November of 2005, Parallelogramophonograph has been more than just any improv troupe. Fiercely dedicated to the craft and art of improvised theatre, PGraph has held a weekly show non-stop for over 8 years. Early on in their time together Kaci Beeler, Kareem Badr, Roy Janik, and Valerie Ward knew they wanted to do something different onstage. Intrigued by the challenge of telling fantastic fully-improvised stories together as an ensemble, PGraph spent years developing original formats and studying the art of theatre, improv, and storytelling. They’ve toured the country and the world performing and teaching their unique brand of improv with ensemble appearances in over 40 cities in the US, Canada, Australia, and the UK.
We're pleased to have them perform two of their shows in Dublin on Friday July 31st and Saturday August 1st.
Friday 8pm Show: "Improvised French Farce" (Followed by the Frolicking Open Jam)
French Farce is an exploration of the latent comedy in social status. Infidelity, insecurity, and insatiable appetites for wealth and power collide with riveting consequences. No topic is taboo; No neurosis too absurd.
Rich in physical humor and word play, French Farce is a delight to watch. We turn a blank stage into a French salon, a blank script into sharp social commentary, and “improv comedy” into “théâtre improvisé”.
Following the show we will be opening up the stage for an open jam with PGraph!
Doors 8pm, show 8:30pm sharp for both shows.
Saturday 8pm: Villainy (Followed by the Dark Open Jam)
Villainy delves into the dark side of the human condition and tell stories that focus on the villains and anti-heroes we all love to hate.
Villainy explores the thousand faces of evil, cruelty, and hatred, all in one comical, theatrical bundle. The good, sensible person in you will tell you to look away, but you won’t. Indulge in your darker side while we indulge in ours.
Following the show we will be opening up the stage for an open jam with PGraph!
Pricing:
Single Show: €10
Both shows: €16
Venue: The Harbour Playhouse
30 Avenue Road, Portobello, Dublin 8
For participants attending the Intensive weekend, a special rate of €10 in total for both shows.
Testimonials/Media:
★★★★★ “It was a rare treat to watch this highly skilled company”- Theatre People Australia
★★★★★ "Totally brilliant, we LOVED it." -London Improv
“It’s a testament to their commitment to the craft and and their comfort on stage that they managed to sustain a rapt audience through laugh-free periods. You know, like good theater tends to do.”
-The Austinist.com
"Improvised comedy theatre was a genre which I previously wouldn't go within a mile of. But we said that whoever canvassed us first we would attend their show irregardless. What an eye opener! Fantastic acting, genuinely funny and a joy to watch the story unfold. Brilliant!"
- BroadwayBaby at the Edinburgh Fringe 2011
"Capturing the true spirit of the Fringe is this US improv four-piece…the outfit maintain a charismatic warmth throughout [the performance] as well as a sharp wit and excellent understanding of how to hold their audience."

About the play:
Love Me Tinder is a fairy tale of “first dates” on of all days, Valentine’s Day. It takes the dating app Tinder and moves it into a fantasy world of Real, Fictitious, Medieval, and TV Personas meeting for that magical and mystical first date in today’s, always digitally connected, metaverse.
Love Me Tinder is where analog reality blends with the digital sphere of fantasy and hopefully leads to romance. Valentine's Day, a night where dreams may or may not hold true.
We welcome you to a fabulous night where love will be brought back to the world. A night where dreams may or may not hold true, as our characters meet their prospective soulmates. A night where we will discover if old loves can rekindle the forgotten past. Witness whether a naive young woman, pure as the driven snow, can find a prince in a not so charming DJ. It’s a night where an Instagram princess may finally meet her equally vain match. A night where a famed Kinsale pirate attempts to plot a nemesis’ demise with rum and a promise of debauchery. Discover if competing family traders in The English Market become one in union. Could there possibly be a “coming out” of sorts that leads to dinner and a movie between confused souls? Will someone with EPS soon have SPS? (You have to join us to understand that one!) After all, what happens at First Dates restaurant STAYS at First Dates restaurant.
Love Me Tinder was devised and written by members of Rebel City Drama Club.
