The Totally Improvised Company returns to Buxton Fringe in July! Join us at Underground Venues with ComedySportz and The Totally Improvised Musical. As well as that, Sean will be performing his solo show Going Coastal with Donald McGinty.
This is Underground Venues 21st Buxton Fringe and we're thrilled to be back with them this year. Their 2026 programme has over 200 performances of the finest theatre, comedy and music shows, from across the world. Of course, we're just there for the water...

Two teams. One winner. No script! ComedySportz is an award-winning competitive comedy show where teams go for gold with quick-witted gags and games. A fast-paced, feel-good show for everyone, with a referee on hand to ensure a good clean match. So book now and don't miss the festival's funniest fixture. The teams have washed their kits and sharpened their wits – who wins? You decide! BOOK HERE

Every night is opening night as these top improvisers compose brand-new comedy musicals from your title suggestions. That’s right; the story, songs, characters and “choreography” are all made up on the spot with live music and lots of laughter. Don’t miss the opening – and closing – night of your very own musical! Previous musical titles have included The Town Where Everyone Is Called Geoffrey, The Book of More Men, Vampires In Hull, The Very Conservative Snowman, Miserable Les, Help! I Live With My Ex, Sweeney Toddlers, and My Grandma Is A Parasite! Previous Buxton shows have been totall sell-outs so booking early is recommended! BOOK HERE

Set sail for daft laughs with Donald McGinty! There's an earnest bit about the environment, a vaguely satisfying dramatic arc and a very niche reference to the TV show Neighbours. It's a light-hearted, light entertainment show with some surprisingly dark bits, with jokes about the seaside, seagulls and c-list celebrities. Just don't forget the McGinty family motto "whin adventure beckons be daein' yer business afore ye leave the hoose!" BOOK HERE
