Gypsy Danger is a house team at The People’s Improv Theater in New York who performs a 30 minute improvised movie. They open with a trailer and create a full movie based on an audience suggestion and audience selected genre. For over 2 1/2 years, Gypsy Danger has perfected their version of the Improvised Movie. The audience suggests the genre and a never before seen movie is born. The team ended its tenure on The People’s Improv Theater’s Wednesday night in January 2016, and is now a headliner for the theater’s Saturday night. With committed characters and unpredictable plot lines, Gypsy Danger delights audiences with its contagious energy. Will it be a thriller? A rom-com? A sci-fi? Don’t be afraid. Just give in!

“At CIF in 2014, we asked the audience for a suggestion “at the height of your intelligence”. The suggestion we got: “porn”. But we took that suggestion and created a hilarious, and weirdly touching, story about a town where none of the parents would talk to their kids about sex until they were encouraged to break out of their shells by a bunch of porn they found in the woods (if this is sounding like “Footloose” to you, that is not an accident). Just about anything can be turned into a great show, and sometimes the more challenging starts create the most fulfilling stories.” –Joanna Shaw Flamm

Want to read a review? Here is what one reviewer had to say about them back in 2014:

“Now, there are quite a few improv teams in this city. There’s actually a lot of improv teams in this city, but believe me when I say Gypsy Danger is different. They are different and they are amazing. The thing that makes them so special is that instead of just improvising scenes, Gypsy Danger improvises an entire movie during every show. They improvise an entire hilarious, magical, and awe-inspiring movie during every show. They even thrown in an improvised movie trailer as a bonus treat. If you think you’ve seen your share of improv and won’t be impressed then you are dead wrong, sir. What Gypsy Danger is doing is special, and I want you all to experience this.”

When you're running a show, there's nothing more heartbreaking or terrifying when your tech breaks. Especially when your tech is playing karaoke songs, and your show is... 100% singing Karaoke. Thank Gaia for these three angels who calmly walked onstage as we were scrambling and said "We're gonna do it a cappella." They showed the meaning of support, and really gave us a beautiful gift. This is why I love live theater. Thank you, "To Infinity"!
