The show, which was filmed on TNT until 2022. It has the same meaning as the show "Improvisers", but there are also other improvisations. At the moment, the show is NOT FILMING.
Each episode involves 4 improv actors, a host, and a guest star(s). The host sits on the left at a table on a large stage, and the guest star(s) sits next to him. There are three buttons on the table that the host and guest use to react to the action on stage: red, green (negative and positive reactions), and a white button (a signal to stop the game; later removed).

The actors are located at the back of the stage on poufs and only come on stage during improvisations. Performers who are not participating in the game remain in their places. There are also specially hidden decorations on the stage that appear during some improvisations.

Each episode consists of 5 improvisation games. For most of the episode, guest stars take part in improvisations; in later seasons, the host comes up with specific tasks for the games together with them.

At the end of each episode, the host and actors say goodbye to the audience in improvised images given by the host.
THE SHOW IS NOT BEING FILMED AT THE MOMENT!

In addition to the show "Improvisers", its creative team produces other projects - game shows "Loud Question" and "Contacts". They are released on the video hosting "VK Video" in the official community "Improkom". In July 2023, the premiere of the travel show "What are we doing? Where are we going?" (abbreviated - "CHDKI") with participants of the show "Improvisers" took place there. In it, participants visit unusual locations throughout Russia. In the episodes, they are joined by local bloggers, authors and photographers.

Each episode features four improv actors and a guest star. The actors are on a couch to the left of the stage, and the guest sits in a chair to the left of the couch. Next to him is a coffee table with a table bell, with which the guest can react to the action on stage (before filming the first season, a version of the table with two pairs of reaction buttons was made, which was not used [21]; in the second season, a table with one pair of buttons is used in some games).

The actors sit on the couch and only come on stage during improvisations. Performers who are not participating in the game remain in their places. Instead of scenery, some games use only costumes and props.

Each episode consists of 4-5 improvisation games (plus "Rap Roast"). The guest, together with the actors, comes up with specific tasks for the games and controls the action on stage (depending on the type of improvisation, he gives new conditions as the action progresses or controls the actors directly).

The end of the episode includes a game of "Rap Roast," in which the improvisers remind the guest of the best moments of the game in the form of a rap of several lines in turn, and a final photo, for which the guest, in a limited time, arranges the actors on stage and strikes an appropriate pose himself.
