Louis Cammell / 16 March 2023
Comedy editor Kevin Ibbotson-Wight takes in two of the headline shows from the 2023 edition of the excellent improv festival
We look ahead to another edition of one of the UK's premier improv events
Comically repetitive attempts at spookiness make for top clownery
Slightly uneven double-hander from two talented comics
Promising first half interrupted by an uncomfortable throwaway joke that pulls down the rest of the show
Refreshingly warm comedy is bizarre and touching
Glaswegian makes the most out of her less-than-ideal circumstances
Feel-good hour about finding your inner Kaiju, no matter the challenges
Absurdity, magic, and comedy, from a performer with an uncanny hold over her adoring audience
Larger-than-life drag queen meets a quieter-than-death audience
Despite all protestations, Chelsea Birkby's light side shines in very solid debut hour
Mime and javelin jokes meet in an hour of off-the-wall humour
