4th Apr - 6th Apr
Welcome to Gay Paree! Artistes and acts from all over the world gather to play at Paris’ most notorious club, packed to the rafters with a roaring crowd of dignitaries and degenerates.
But who is the club’s mysterious owner? What’s the latest backstage gossip and scandal? Which of the city’s finest will be in tonight’s audience? And who will win the title of 'The Greatest Show on Earth'?
Moulin Rouge meets The Greatest Showman in this magnificent, opulent, tremendous, stupendous, gargantuan, bedazzlement. Now in its Spectacular Spectacular! 15th year, The London 50 Hour Improvathon is the ultimate ‘you had to be there’ event.
A 50-hour completely improvised comedy soap opera in 25 hilarious episodes - kicking off at 7pm on Friday and playing continuously until 9pm on Sunday (yes, right through the nights!) with a live band and refreshments available throughout. There’s even a special Family Episode at 11am on Sunday, suitable for kids of all ages! Tickets for under-12s are just £6.
You can watch any one standalone episode - starting every 2 hours - or binge-watch the whole season like your favourite Netflix show.
As the performers become increasingly sleep-deprived, they behave with a wild freedom you won't see anywhere else!
Featuring stars of Olivier Award-winning Showstopper! The Improvised Musical and Tony Award-winning Mischief alongside comedians, performers, up-and-comers and international guests throughout the weekend. Stay tuned for the full line-up, to be announced soon.
This April at the Pleasance, the show must go on (and on and on and on…)
Directed by Adam Meggido and Ali James.
