TOTALLY LOOPED is a hilarious film-themed show featuring some of the cream of the UK's Comedy Circuit and TV's famous faces. After taking Hollywood by storm, Totally Looped comes to the UK for the first time this year. Relying on audience interaction and suggestions, the show's performers dub their improvised dialogue over ever-changing film clips, as well as playing a range of film-themed comedy games. This will be a very exciting and amazingly funny show that will unfold Live in front of your eyes!
Its already a hit show in America and many US TV comedy performers have played a part in its success. Previous Loopers include Richard Kuhlman (Parenthood, Seinfeld), Deb Lacusta (The Simpsons, The Tracy Ulman Show) and Joe Liss (That 80's Show, Curb Your Enthusiasm). The most famous of them is the Emmy Award winning performer Dan Castellaneta who provides the unforgettable voice of Homer in the Simpsons. He describes his experience of being a Looper as "the only thing more fun than having performed with 'Totally Looped' was watching 'Totally Looped' and laughing myself silly!”
It was originally created by Instant Theater, Los Angeles, TOTALLY LOOPED was directed in the US and is being directed in the UK by Emmy Award winner Vince Waldron.
