Smash Night! An Improvised Comedy Experience! 

Come and give your laughter muscles a work out with three great acts from Nottingham and beyond performing hilarious scenes and games for your amusement. Based on YOUR suggestions these funny performers will spontaneously create never to be seen again comedy sketches you won’t want to miss! Join us downstairs in the Malt Cross for a Wednesday evening filled with lots of fun, laughter and a bit of silliness!

This month featuring…

Comic Harmonic 

Celebrating a Duolingo streak; a James Brown ode to volcanoes; the story of Wolf from Gladiators?! If you can imagine it, Comic Harmonic can sing it! A musical sensation, creating songs of all styles on all subjects, as they improvise a full concert in real time. Spontaneous, harmonious, hilarious!_

Steve Longstaffe

The world clearly hasn’t enough Shakespeare, so this solo show improvises some more from audience suggestions. Your host (former university Shakespeare lecturer and current idiot) will transform whatever the Nottingham muses bring into new iambic speeches and dialogues by some of the bard’s most famous characters. It could get silly. 

Press X to Smash:

A select group of improvisors from across the Nottingham scene will perform a delightful selection of improv games for you. They’ll explain the rules, but who knows if they’ll stick to them?!

Get your tickets now and see these three great acts for only £5/£3 concession.
