We've just about recovered from a bumper Edinburgh Fringe and now The Totally Improvised Musical is going on tour this Autumn. Don't miss the opening night of your very own musical as we take the show to venues across the North of England. We hope this will be the precursor to an even bigger nationwide tour in 2025.
With live musical accompaniment our cast compose comedy musicals based on a title given by the audience. Scenes, songs and stories are made up on the spot and there may even be some “dancing”. Everything is composed in the moment and on the edge of your seats!
“The cast have no clue about the characters, choruses, choreography or even what key we're meant to be in until we get the title of that night's musical from the audience,” explains Sean. “The person whose title we pick gets a free pin badge. If that’s not enough to tempt you in, I don’t know what is.”
Earlier this year, the show was nominated for Best Variety Show at The Leicester Comedy Festival - Europe's biggest comedy festival - and has been picking up rave reviews ever since. We're very excited to be taking the show on tour this Autumn.
Previous show titles have included Frankenstein Joins an Acapella Group, Lawnmowers: The Musical, My Grandma Is a Parasite, The First Primark in Space and Penguins Don’t Eat Cheese. “Some nights you end up singing a really touching love song and sometimes you end up doing a dance about ham,” laughs Sean. “There’s something kind of magic about a show that only exists for one night. Audiences have come again and again knowing they’ll get a totally different but still totally great show!”
