Fed up of Fringe shows that all sound the same? Find it hard to get through an hour of Brecht or tired stand-up comedy? Wish a highly advanced rogue neural network was in charge and the show changed every three minutes?
Our Artificial Intelligence has ingested a decade of Fringe show descriptions and now creates its own. The best – and worst – of these shows are interpreted by a troupe of elite improv cyborgs*, the EUTC’s Improverts.
*For safety reasons no actual cyborgs are deployed in this production.
