Disagree entirely. Saw one of their fringe shows and the whole think was hilarious with everybody laughing throughout. This is not the sort of thing that needs to be analysed critically.

Want to see some quality, clear, concise and hilarious Improv? Yes? Then avoid the Improlympians at all costs. They over-complicate their story from the start, with unnecessary scenes and characters, and the result is that none of them can remeber any of the information that has been given to them previously. This could be avoided simply if they paid attenton to the story together, rather than trying individually to shoehorn a pr conceived joke into any given scene. How many times can a company rely on one joke? That joke is that one of the players makes a mistake which is picked up on by someone else, in character, and corrected, whilst they guffaw. Once - yeah - genuinely funny, twice even three times raised a smile. But by the 24th time this had happened inside 20 minutes, my head had sunk well and truly towards my upturned hands. Even basic continuity went begging. A bowling expert who remembered the death of a teammate from 33 years ago, later revealed his age as 21. The guy in the boiler suit was unfunny and laughed at all of his own forced humour. The one in shorts was reasonably talented but horribly forgetful. The guy in the grey shirt was genuinely brilliant but clearly fighting an impossible task with no support from his pals. He was single handedly tasked with rescuing and justifying every single scene and, on the whole, did it admirably. One star is for him, the other star because it was free. They close by reminding the audience that "every show is different". Who knows, perhaps one might be good. There must be better free improv around in the afternoon.
