Description
Unknown. Unplanned. Unscripted. A weekly improvised-comedy podcast that we're making up as we go along! Brought to you by the Dubai Improv Tribe!
71 Episodes
Reverse
We made it to 60 Episodes! Again, thank you to all you wonderful listeners.
Improv is all about collaborative storytelling. (Note to self: Go ahead, stick that one on your resume!) And here, we endeavor to do just that. Watch how the tribe of us create a spooky story, with Jathin and Hari acting out the parts. Or how Robert can turn the most random quotes out of random books into a believable, if farcical trial.
And that really is the magic of improv. It opens you up to worlds of possibilities, all of which you are free to explore without fear. Interested in trying it out for yourselves? Do join our open jamming sessions! You can find the links on our social media platforms:

Once again, thank you so much for keeping our journey going!

Sometimes, it pays to interrupt people. I remember several times when a conversation I was in got hijacked and ended up in weird new places. Weird is what we do best, so check out the freezing extravaganza that starts in a single's bar for married people and ends in cryptocurrency investments.
Sometimes things are fortunate. Sometimes they're not. And sometimes, you can end up sharing a train compartment with a creepy stranger on your honeymoon. Leave them alone, Aarti!
And for those of you who can't wait to go on a long hike once this whole pandemic is done, I have one extremely credible piece of advice - Leave Roma at home. Give her a jigsaw puzzle to keep her busy or something.

I'll confess that I've never looked forward to building a house - too many details to think about! But the pillars that the roof stands on - those are critical, and if you're not careful, can come crashing down over your heads, as Karthik's greatest fear is reveled. Jathin and Robert try their best to spare Karthik (from Roma and Rashmi). Find out how that goes!
Ever since I (Hari) got married, I've been told about a hundred times that communication is key to keeping your marriage smooth. I took that advice to heart, honest! And yet, every time I'm tapping away on the phone, I'm met with angry glares! Hello? I'm communicating here! Ever wondered what to do in that situation? We find out so you don't have to!
And one of the things most people never think about is the education of senior citizens. And if you've got Robert and Karthik in senior citizen spelling class... well, we tried to warn you.
Oh, and someone might have unleashed a mummy's curse. Thought you'd wanna know!

We've made it to 50 episodes! And as a special episode, we've brought back all the members of the tribe to share their experiences on this amazing journey! This is the story of how this podcast took shape, how its creators spent a good part of the pandemic-induced lockdown, and how we've gotten ourselves to this point. Learn of all the ways that embracing the art of improv has improved our lives, and if you want to find a place to start, please feel free to drop in on one of our open jam sessions on Sunday to get a taste. We'll guarantee that you'll stick around.
And to those of our listeners tuning in to observe our razor wit in action, we've got you covered! Stick around to the end of the episode for a very special scene that we think you'll enjoy!
To the next 50 episodes!

Has anyone ever told you that secrets destroy lives? And that these new White Cinnamon Sticks ruin 5 million lives? No wonder Karthik likes to keep this one on the down-low. But secrets have a nasty habit of getting discovered...
Dating during the pandemic has been tough. Video-calling is probably the most that people could do over the last year. And now, with the first shoots of the post-pandemic spring, finally going back out to meet new people is something everyone is looking forward to. But beware - people online and people in real-life are not always what they seem...
Prioritizing things in life is something extremely important - so much so that even schoolchildren are forced to choose. The young rising star of Indian school-level hockey has a choice to make. Will he pass his Hindi exam? Will he ever play for his school again? What even is a Hindi?

You might have noticed that Bitcoin, Dogecoin and [insert what-have-you]coin have been all the rage in the news. The bad news is that they sometimes crash, and Robert and Rashmi teach us a valuable skill sure to work when this has happened to you.
If you're looking for an internship, (as I, Hari, am), I suppose you could do worse than joining the Summer Trainee program at the Bomb Squad. Real world experience and excitement guaranteed. Continued employment and survival not guaranteed! Sign up now!
We at DIT are a bunch of history buffs. We take a look back at the possibly-apocryphal tale of Archimedes in his bath, discovering the law of displacement, his none-too-impressed (and possibly American) wife, and the most important lesson of all - always make sure the bathrooms have doors!

I honestly had no idea that 4G was still being implemented in the 1500s. Join us this episode and witness the turn of history as Mughal emperor Akbar and his advisor Suresh make a decision on the most pressing issue of our times - establishing the 32-bit microprocessor as the standard. Who knows where the internet would be without such brave souls?
Who doesn't love a good beach? Our bunch of kids sneaks out of home on a weekend, to clean the beach up! What a bunch of nerds! But a ton of other fun stuff happens on the beach, such as scuba diving, which apparently some people find terrifying. That sounds like a fun honeymoon!

Ever tried reading a book backwards? No? What do you mean, it's not fun?! Listen as our two resident scientists decide to peer review some cutting-edge muffin research and come to some exciting conclusions!
On the other hand, baked goods do seem to go well with stiff drinks as Karthik and Prateek ponder the meaning of solitude over a stiff drink. There's also a bit of confusion as to the role of brownies in our diets, and their commercial possibilities. And after all this, we deal with the most depressing activity of all - jewelry shopping!

Sometimes, dictators do strange things. Some of those things include ordering two random people having a conversation to do outlandish things. It all goes to show that, some people (cough Prateek cough cough) should never become dictators.
However, such people are also the best when it comes to delivering service with a smile, or a lack thereof with excuses. Watch as the tribe gives a masterclass in how to handle irate passengers in an airline without actually doing anything that addresses the problem.
There's also a debate about the value of freedom of lungis vs the security of pants. Pants all the way! All this and more on our show that's Unknown, Unplanned, and Unscripted!

It wouldn't be entirely inaccurate to say that some people love animals. Some even love them too much. And when two of these people, who also happen to be exes... well, expect some fur to fly!
Some legends like to give press conferences. Some of them even know why. Others are more like Karthik in this episode - no idea why they're there, but media-savvy enough to make it out unscathed.
There's also some amazing Carnatic music going on, with an audition for the newest reality show on TV! Apologies to everyone in advance!

Managing a crisis is one of the hardest jobs in the world, regardless of whether you're President or Principal at the local art school. And sometimes, the inescapable fact is that you might have to play a Xylophone on Your Zoom Call. Stranger things have happened, (not very often, admittedly). The sport of cricket raises many questions, but perhaps none as astute as "Why on Earth are they wearing white while standing around in the sun all day?" And finally, how can an elementally-stylish cookbook help you get out of a flat tire on a highway?

People make mistakes. Such is life, c'est la vie, and all that. Sometimes people buy horses by mistake, or push the big red button on a strange vacuum cleaner. Mistakes are often the best things that happen to anyone. The consequences are a different story, however...
Join us as we navigate an ever-changing world, exploring the horse trade, taking in the sights at a pickpocket school, and driving home the maxim "Sometimes, more is less", especially if you can avoid hearing too much. Oh, and vacuum cleaners are the source of most family drama. Who knew? All this and more on this weeks episode of Unscripted with DIT.

What do you do when certain people never stop talking? Give them a word limit, of course! But if you think this will prevent them – you are sadly mistaken! Roma and Karthik manage to scandalize despite speaking only three words at a time. Robert gets to work at a stock exchange , but instead of concentrating on making more money for his clients, gets embroiled in his colleague’s Rashmi whose nickname is Jack ( or is it the other way around?)sad love story. All along, Roma, is happily downing sangrias and gleefully adding to the confusion.
Our intrepid investigative team returns, and our special reporter Hari uncovers the carpenter Chotu’s divisive tactics in cahoots with Sergei, the Russian kingpin masquerading as Sirji!

Three is company, or so they say. In this special episode, due to a series of events that were Unknown, Unplanned and Unscripted (Hari was sick and Roma was sleeping), our cast is down to three brave souls holding the fort against... sanity? Probably. Do these brave souls stand a chance? Find out in this exciting episode of Unscripted with DIT!

And we're back! Here's to wishing all our listeners (and everyone else) a happy 2021! Because you deserve it!
Meet Mr. Devendra Otharam Ghai (DOG), a man of many talents - one of which is making toffee? Beats me... I guess you'll just have to listen and find out how Mr. DOG discovers the Highway to Heaven, with only one condition - he has to do so without using any words containing the letters 'S' or 'N' (Apologies in advance to all Led Zeppelin and AC/DC fans). Can he actually pull off the impossible?

Happy holidays, listeners! This week, we take a look at how to effectively run the rat race of the stock market, while politicians discuss how to save Christmas. Romance is in the air, it's almost like Paradise, as Robert and Hari find out. And of course, Aarti and Karthik agree that Santa Claus be declared an essential worker so that he can escape the life of petty crime that he has fallen into. All this and more on our show that's unknown, unplanned and Unscripted!

It's always night in space, so it's never too early for a drink, as Francis and Hari find out. Karthik, on the other hand finds out it's a bit difficult to find a job after being fired by NASA. And unless you're a huge fan of Indian condiments (in your hair), I'd recommend you stay as far away from Manju and Roma's hair salon as humanly possible. You'll thank me for this later.

I honestly cannot believe we made it to 25 episodes! A huge shoutout to all our listeners!
The original cast of the show reunites this week to bring all our favorites to the table! Peri-peri sauce, parathas and politics do mix, apparently. Two aspiring filmmakers decide to help a Nigerian princess to produce their movie. A straightforward mum puts her emo teen on a diet. (I think we all skipped breakfast).
And lastly, our brave investigative reporters are out to unravel the greatest secret in the art world - Who Burnt Siena?! All this on a show that's unknown, unplanned and Unscripted!
Also a huge shoutout to Ennuicastr, who made it possible to record these episodes under these socially-distanced conditions! We couldn't have done this without you. Find them here: https://ecastr.com/

Ever done something so embarrassing that you had no idea how to tell someone what you'd done? Then this episode is exactly what you need. Prateek and Karthik demonstrate how to break the bad news, while Roma shows how she handles completely legit customers at a bank. Robert and Hari show us how to run forward and back all at once, while Aarti teaches us why you should always be careful with weights in the gym.

Unscripted with DIT returns this week with a brand new twist on one of our favorite games - so good it drives Prateek to tears! Roma and Jathin show us what the law on the International Space Station is like! And Robert and Karthik show us how to discover inner peace at the very pinnacle (roller-coaster sold separately). All this and more on our show that's unknown, unplanned and an unremembered third word.
