Quirky Yurti

We are a merry band of souls who take improvisation to the edge of the absurd and not quite back again! We stretch the rules of improv to the limit as well as our physical and vocal capacities. We hope you enjoy our show and its twists and turns. It will be beautifully quirky and just a little bit Yurti.

 

Carried Away: Multiversal Madness 

Step inside the lab where reality has given up and possibilities multiply! Multiversal Madness is a high-energy improvised comedy show where chaos is not just expected… it’s scientifically encouraged.

Our team of rogue researchers will kick off with rapid-fire “experiments”, classic short-form improv games reimagined. Each one tests ordinary situations under ridiculous conditions: What happens if emotions shift at random? What if every word must start with the same letter? No findings will be published. All data will be immediately discarded. Laughter is the only measurable output.

Then, the main experiment begins. A single audience decision will cause reality to split, propelling our performers down two completely different timelines. Same characters. Same starting point. Totally different universes. Will one world find love while the other burns? Will destiny hinge on a sandwich? Only science (and you) can decide.

Bring your curiosity. Bring your chaos. Lab coats optional, madness guaranteed.

Note that this show is part of a double bill ticket offer with Neil + 1 and Festival All Stars. Please add a ticket for each show into your basket. The discount will be applied at the check out stage.
