Dr Bunhead's Improvised Explosions
Internationally-renowned TV science presenter Dr Bunhead *(Brainiac, Blue Peter) joins forces with leading comedy improvisers to provide a rollercoaster of serious science, audience interaction and gratuitous scenes of a spontaneous nature. Bursting with unexpected consequences, this show is different every time.
This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things
Prepare yourself for some slow-burning, truth-seeking, and emotionally-driven improv theatre; Steven Millar and Charles Dundas tiptoe through the minefield of motivation to explore just some of the many things that two people can feel about themselves, and each other. WARNING! May include frustratingly unresolved sexual tension.
Second Sunday of the Month 12th November - 7.30pm-9.45pm
Smoky Monkeys
After a 22 night Fringe run in August with: An Imp-revised History of the World, The Smoky Monkeys are have some new exciting formats with a song or two, long-form adventures and hilarious characters. So join them for guaranteed silliness, mad-cap fun, occasional intellectualism and made up musical madness.
