Listing admin
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).
