The List, 22nd July 2014Edinburgh Fringe preview: Battle Acts
BattleActs! is an award-winning, late-night comedy show that has built a reputation for outstanding improv around the UK. We had a chance to catch up with the guys and ask a few questions before this year's Fringe.
The Public Reviews, 3rd July 2014More details
Having built a reputation for outstanding improv around the UK, BattleActs are bringing their award-winning, multi-five-star, late-night comedy party to the Laughing Horse Free Festival - their fifth consecutive Fringe show.
The show sees two teams of fearless improvisers pitched against each other by a ball-busting compere. Each team attempts to prove their worth and battle it out for the ultimate prize: the audience's respect!
Facing a terrifying voting system, a high-octane mix of seemingly impossible challenges and incredible physicality, the teams battle against invisible giants, linguistic constraints and the limits of physical pain. No two shows are the same - forfeits can see you dancing on live mousetraps, and themed nights keep everyone on their toes!
BattleActs were awarded the StageWon Editor's Award in 2012, were recommended by the Independent on Sunday as part of their weekly "Top 10 Comedy Acts in the UK", Time Out Critic's Choice and Spiked Online claimed BattleActs were 2013's "Best Free Show".
BattleActs have previously performed at the Comedy Store, London Zoo, the Camden Roundhouse. They recently performed at the Vault Festival in London's Waterloo - selling out the entire run of 500 tickets before their opening night.
