Improbotics Presents: Artificial Reality

Improbotics Presents: Artificial Reality

Show type: Edinburgh Fringe 2026

Improvised show where audiences become producers of a reality show. With questionable methods, AI, wild characters and deep fake celebrities, we sabotage reality TV. Led by an executive producer, the crowd controls the show while contestants compete for audience love. Because of budget cuts, "celebrities" are recreated using our own questionable artificial reality methods (deep fakes, video generation and AR glasses to send lines from a chatbot to control the "celebrity"). As contestants get replaced by AI, the show becomes a fast-paced high-tech satire of AI slop and voyeurism, by the award-winning pioneers of robot theatre.
