The Edinburgh must-see show for nine years running, now an Olivier Award-winner and a West End hit! A brand new musical is created from scratch at every performance of this multi award-winning show. Each night, audience suggestions are transformed into all-singing, all-dancing productions, with unpredictable and hilarious results. 'Top-dollar amusement that doesn't let up. So polished, it defies belief' ***** (Daily Telegraph). 'Had me weeping with laughter... you absolutely have to go' ***** (Mail on Sunday). 'Magical, properly funny. A triumph' **** (Times). 'Achingly funny. Worth seeing again and again' ***** (Time Out).
