PREVIOUS ENGAGEMENTS:
Friday 1st November
The Ladies of Showstopper!
Showstopper! The Improvised Musical has been a rip-roaring success since the show started in 2008. It has had eleven sell-out years at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, two West End runs, an Olivier award and a BBC Radio 4 series.
In the show, the audience meets a writer of musicals who is on a deadline – she needs their help. The audience shouts out suggestions of a setting, musical styles and the title of the show and they’re off! Ruth Bratt, Lucy Trodd, Lauren Shearing, Susan Harrison and Heather Urquart head to the Boulevard to bring some of the spontaneous musical joy to the court of the queens!
Friday 15th November
A Very Serious Play
A night of improvised comedy featuring Lee Simpson (Comedy Store Players) and Ruth Bratt (Showstopper! The Improvised Musical).
Lee Simpson and Ruth Bratt are very serious about play. They present for you A Very Serious Play. Beyond that, no-one knows. Except that it’s improvised. And they like improvising with each other. And seriously playing. Throw Pippa Evans, Helen Foster, Briony Redman and Ali James into the mix and we’re looking at a serious amount of comedy.

These Folk
Finding the Mythic in Mundane
These folk is an improvised, musical, mythic folk tale bought to you by veteran improvisers Justin Brett (Peep Show) and Susan Harrison (Showstopper! The Improvised Musical, Mischief Theatre). Inspired by the audience suggestion and accompanied by the very best improvisational musicians, they weave a folk tale as old as time and as new as the moment it was created in.
