Time Out Market Barcelona

In Impro Show, the audience takes on the dual role of scriptwriter and protagonist. Guided by suggestions from randomly chosen spectators, improvisers craft roles, stories, and settings in this original and interactive performance. This improvised theater format has already delivered over 8,000 performances to 2,500,000 spectators, making it the second most-watched show in Catalonia. Since anything can happen in any performance, we still don’t know what surprises await at the Time Out Market Barcelona. What’s certain is that, for 75 minutes, the actors will whisk you away from your routine and invite you to imagine, laugh, and be amazed. They will be performing for free on fridays 17 of January and 7 of February at 8 PM. Make the most of your evening by enjoying drinks and a bite to eat before or after the show, and experience the best of Barcelona all under one roof—with spectacular views to match.
