Sketch group Tarot are to tour their new show Tarot: Shuffle this autumn, following a run at the Edinburgh Festival.
Their third hour, this show - which stars Adam Drake, Kath Hughes and Ed Easton - will play in the Pleasance Courtyard from the 31st July until 25th August at 9:30pm, before the gang take the show on tour across the UK in the autumn.
The blurb explains: "Tarot: Shuffle is a 'startlingly live' (Guardian) show that asks the audience to become the latest member of Tarot, as the super-group casts off their reputation as the royalty of 'dark comedy'. Together the three nighty-clad sketch-zealots shuffle on stage and weave an absurd and wildly inventive show full of hair-raising characters and rug-pulling punchlines; a surprisingly joyful and silly hour, where the relationship between audience and performer is blurred, Tarot: Shuffle is a show so off the cuff, live, and 'in the room' you'll wonder if they're making it all up on the spot."
Tarot say: "We would call it improv but we've got some self-respect: this is sketch in nighties. Come watch a new show of big, daft and, above all, live comedy being conjured up in front of your very eyes."
