2015 Edinburgh Fringe

More details

Folie à Deux is a darkly elegant comedy show from two of Britain's most inventive improvisers, returning to the Pleasance for a second year.

Riffing on a single word from the audience, the cast of two - both stars of Chortle Award-winning smash hit Austentatious - dive into an hour of wit, chemistry and masterful wordplay, creating new characters and stories at breakneck pace.

Combining artful plotting and lightning-quick repartee, Folie à Deux is an entirely unscripted caper into the unknown. Expect razor-sharp comic timing, stunning emotional chemistry and really smart stupidity. Just don't expect a script.
