The story
This London-founded show creates musical theatre through improvisation rather than presenting a fixed written work. Established in 2008, it has toured extensively across the UK, had its own BBC Radio 4 series and completed a ten-week West End run in 2015, for which it won an Olivier Award.
In the room
Its format sits between improvised comedy and musical theatre, with the content made in performance rather than taken from a fixed script.
Good fit if you like
improvised comedy, musical theatre, unscripted performance and shows built around spontaneity.
