Dynamite Dynamics - Auckland Improv Festival

What makes an improv scene truly powerful? Is it the high-energy punchlines, the fast-paced action, the relentless comedy? Or is it the quiet moments—the pause before the punchline, the tension in the silence, the weight of a single glance?

Join internationally acclaimed improviser Stacey Hallal and a hand-selected cast as they explore the full spectrum of power in improv—from explosive dynamite energy to the magnetic pull of stillness. This unique workshop-to-show experience will challenge expectations, push boundaries, and reveal how true power isn’t just in volume or speed, but in the choices we make on stage.

Expect the unexpected. Feel the shift. Witness the full DYNA-mic range of improv in action.

Our fully licensed bar opens one hour before the show begins so come and have a drink before the show.

No audience member is brought up on stage, so you can relax and enjoy the show from the comfort of your seat.

The Covert Theatre, home of improv comedy, is community in spirit and professional in standards. With workshops and shows every night of the week there is something for everyone. Be sure to check out www.coverttheatre.com
