The LIL Show - London Improv Live

Ep120: Bob v France feat. FBI - French British Improvisation

Thu, 28 Feb 2019 15:01:47 GMT

This week's very special episode is a journey through France like you've never seen her before...

Armed with his new passport, his dad's old Rover and his French phrasebook, Bob goes on a road trip through France to make sure that he made the right choice in voting leave - while he still has the chance. Trusty British engineering means his car breaks down in the most unfortunate of places. What follows is beyond what he, or any of us could have expected. It is improvised after all!

Think "Deliverance" meets "The Wicker Man" meets "Amelie"...

Starring Talal Karkouti as Bob and Amandine and Marie as a plethora of French locals.

Amandine and Marie are members of the superb, tres-cool FBI - French British Improvisation. They gig a lot around London and beyond in both French and English, proving once and for all that assimilation goes both ways... or something like that...

Find them on Facebook and Twitter and give them some amore.

Talal takes questions from a range of probably-not-listeners on topics like Global Warming, Brexit, milk, God and The Moon.

Ep118: PICKLE SNATCH feat. Jenny Donoghue & Riley Madincia

Mon, 10 Sep 2018 17:26:08 GMT

On today’s show we celebrate the release of a painfully funny new web-series, “8:58”. The show focusses on the 2 minutes before work, when the staff are in the coffee room and the weird places that conversations can reach. Each episode features two World-class improvisers and no script!

The show’s creator, Riley Madincea, and one of it’s stars, Jenny Donoghue join Talal Karkouti for a game of Pickle Snatch, a ten-pound Asda meal deal, a heavy-weight bout of debating and some supernatural improv therapy.

We also play in a ball-pool.

Ep116: CUT THEM OFF feat. AMBA MC & Other People's Children

Thu, 12 Jul 2018 11:00:00 GMT

After a rare pre-show preamble, today's episode swiftly undoes all the hard work we did last time to cure racism. Better strap yourselves in...

Lance Fuller and Riley Madincea (one half of Other People's Children) are back. So is my brother, Ahmad Karkouti (a.k.a. real hip-hop guy, AMBA MC), who we manage to take hostage in the studio after he was done hosting his K2K Radio programme, The Missin' Links Show.

We visit a museum of racism, make the coolest citizens arrests, wage Korean war on a potato and learn how Miley Cyrus will destroy the American Dream.

Oh, and we castrate Riley live on air...

Ep112: 3RD BIRTHDAY BUSK-UP feat. Panicky Tack

Sun, 15 Apr 2018 15:59:43 GMT

On The LIL Show's 3rd birthday, Talal Karkouti found himself wandering the streets of London contemplating what the future holds. That's when he came across a lowly busker on the streets singing for his money. Upon looking closer, Talal was overcome with emotion to find that it was none other that his long-lost comedy partner, Panicky Tack band-mate and co-host, Luc Valvona.

Listen in as the boys reunite, catch-up and entertain passers-by with some beautiful, improvised songs and rambling, nonsensical chatter.

Stick around to the end for a bonus track!

Ep108: Tattoo-prov! feat. Nicola Cross, Christiaan Hendriksen, Other People's Children & Samuel Mead

Thu, 11 Jan 2018 16:15:00 GMT

You've heard of Two-Prov, you've even heard of Dr. Who-prov. Well get ready because we've just invented the next new craze: Tattoo-prov!

Host Talal gets inked live on air whilst trying to host a show and improvise scenes. Luckily, he has the support of some fantastic improvisers to help him through the agony.

We find out how the sins of animals can have serious consequences for humans, how a cigarette can get Syrian teens laid and what happens when you mix love with golf.

However, we don't get to any of this before the wonderfully talented artist Samuel Mead begins tattooing a cat onto Talal's ribs. And we don't stop until the cat-tat is done.

Hark! What is this? A Christmas party at K2K Studios?Gather close, little ones, and gaze in wonder as nobody shows up except for Talal Karkouti and his co-host Alex Sievewright. For what does such a miserable sight exist at this time of year? And pray, why do they argue so? This neg-ativity cannot continue for it threatens the very merriment of this festive season!And lo, a spirit descended upon the miserable place and taught us all a very important lesson. And then another. And another.Could this be the end of Christmas joy? Will the laughter of children and the crumpling of gift wrapping become nothing but a distant whisper of a memory? Will anyone get their invite to the party in time to save these poor souls?Whatever happens, we definitely know that this episode features at least six of the following amazing people: Suki Webster, Luke Sorba, Leonardo Dicaprio, Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Will Smith, Kristen Wiig and, um, Zsa Zsa Gabor.Have the most massively, marvelously merry Christmas season from Alex, Luc and Talal. Seriously, we love you guys for giving us a reason to make this show.Thanks for listening. See you in 2017 with... A DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS EPISODE!!Enjoy xx

Sat, 17 Dec 2016 18:00:00 GMT

Welcome to The Weekly Bliss!It's been a pretty rough year so far, and the week of the US Election was no exception. Recorded the Friday after Trump's victory, this episode denies all of the year's tragedies and lives in ignorant Bliss. Well, not all of them...Escape with us as we discuss the Draconian rules of Disney, the meaning of different Arabic names, Chinese, wife-replacing sex dolls and, of course, blasphemy. This episode features a line-up of guests all from the world of stand-up: Damian Clark, Esther Manito and Mo Saffaf. All hilarious, mostly Arab, not improvisers. To accommodate, this is a one-off, improv-free episode! No improv! I know!!

Ep80: Just Pooh It feat. Loose Brie

Sat, 10 Dec 2016 13:00:00 GMT

Yeah, I know that title isn't going to attract any new listeners. But honestly, there were very few other options. Things started with shit and ended with shit this week but I promise you, it's not as bad as it sounds. In fact, it's much better than it sounds. But then again, if your title is shit then I guess you can only go up from there... Get it? Oh well. So, anyway, Loose Brie are back for the turd time. Sorry. Turd time. Oh man, I did it again. Goodness me. I can't stop thinking of pooh. It has become my everything. What have you done to me Loose Brie?? You've broken my mind! Graaaargh! Sorry about that. I don't remember what happened but apparently I was found sleeping in a barn in the Sussex Downs 3 weeks after I began writing this episode description. I was caked in all of the different farm animal's poohs. I was terrorising the locals by running around the village screaming "ME SEES SPECIES FEACES!" After 3 months in a psychiatric hospital I have managed to stop seeing poop everywhere and I think I have finally mustered the courage to finishing uploading this episode. I recommend you stay away. This episode has scarred my mind in ways that can never heal and I truly hope, if you choose to listen, that you have a mind of steel. Godspeed and good luck...Anyway, this episode features Loose Brie who are back for the turd time. See what I did there? Haha. Turd time... It's a great show. Check it out! Things get caraazy!PEACE! xxps. It's not actually all about poop. calm down xx
