Come enjoy an improvised comedy adventure with this ‘master of audience interaction’ (Huffington Post) as he raids the library of his fantastical imagination to create thrillers, romances, ghost stories and more original freewheeling tales that’ve never been told before and never will be again. Featuring live music from Katie Pritchard and live illustration from Tom Crowley.
