The Saturday Experiment: Thunderdome

Carried across the summer winds, an epic cry heralds the return of an icon. “Thunderdome… Thunderdome...”

After smashing onto the scene in 2022, Thunderdome – the highest stakes tournament in Melbourne improv – is back. Across three gruelling heats, two high-octane semi-finals and a December 16th grand finale, the best of the best will fight for glory. In the end, just one improvising supergroup will rule the wasteland.

Choose your favourite team and back them as they traverse this tournament of terror. There will be scores to settle and gauntlets to run. Watch as HOO-HAA’s improvising comedians face challenges chosen by their competitors, the MC, and even you – the audience. Live comedy doesn’t get more high stakes than this…
