The Oxford Imps - History

History

The Oxford Imps formed in 2003, and it is a debated subject as to whether they are Oxford University's first improvisational comedy troupe. As there is little evidence to contest it, many reviews and publications regarding the troupe refer to the group as indeed the University's first improv group, however the group itself does not lay claim to the title.

Since 2004, the Imps have performed at the Edinburgh Fringe each year. They have previously toured to Bosnia, France, and Utrecht in the Netherlands. They have also toured numerous times to Chicago and Providence, and have performed in Nashville.

They have performed radio shows on Oxide Radio, BBC Radio Oxford, and Fest FM.

Famous quotes containing the word history:

    What would we not give for some great poem to read now, which would be in harmony with the scenery,—for if men read aright, methinks they would never read anything but poems. No history nor philosophy can supply their place.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles.
    Karl Marx (1818–1883)

    Perhaps universal history is the history of the diverse intonation of some metaphors.
    Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986)
