More details

Folie à Deux is a darkly elegant début comedy show from two of Britain's most inventive improvisers.

Riffing on a single word from the audience, the cast of two - both stars of Chortle Award-winning smash hit, Austentatious - dive headlong into an hour of wit, chemistry and masterful wordplay.

Combining character monologues and lightning-quick repartee with loaded silences, Folie à Deux is an entirely unscripted caper into the unknown. As a different story unfurls every night, prepare for razor-sharp comic timing, gut-wrenching poignancy and sophisticated idiocy.
