"The Old Union Yard Arches club, which will open its doors for the first time on Thursday October 16, will become the permanent home of improv group the Free Association. The Free Association has been training up comedians and putting on shows for over a decade now, so it's about time it had a place to call its own. There's a big launch event/celebration on Thursday, which consists of an inaugural performance, complete with champagne and ribbon cutting."
"Then, on Friday (October 17) you can catch This Doesn't Leave The Room, the troupe's 'flagship show' where the improvisers take confessions and gossip from the audience and turn them into something wonderful. In the past, people like Amelia Dimoldenberg have joined for this particular bill. Over the opening weekend there's a full lineup of shows ranging from St Doctor's Hospital, an 'improvised medical drama', to Fabled, a 'fantasy adventure tale' with a live band playing a soundtrack."
