Edinburgh Fringe
Showstopper! The Improvised Musical
The Olivier Award-winning West End hit is back for a 15th year! Every night is opening night for the hottest new musical in town; there's just one problem - the writer hasn't written a note and needs your help... A hilarious musical is made up on the spot using audience suggestions in 'the funniest improv on the Fringe' (BroadwayBaby.com); your Edinburgh experience is simply incomplete without it! 'So polished, it defies belief.' ***** (Telegraph). 'This festival mainstay is a consistent audience favorite for a reason.' ***** (Playbill). ***** 'Achingly funny...worth seeing again and again.' (TimeOut).

Improv At The Fringe - Showstopper! The Improvised Musical
"Showstopper has everything you could possibly want from any musical - great songs, sweeping storylines, bold characters, catchy tunes, and bags of joy - the only difference is we make absolutely everything up as we go along. Everything is completely improvised out of audience suggestions."

We are like a sports team, in that we meet to practice our skills. Just like sports - but with less violence.
