Festival of the unexpected

"I am so excited that we are doing novel things with improv," says Megan Furniss. "Aside from our regular short-form shows, the festival gives us a chance to show off a whole new range of our talents to our audiences and we get to dress up."

Programme

• Wednesday Westerns - Wednesday 29 January and Wednesday 5 February will see the return of a full one and a half hour improvised Western. Audience members still talk about last year's bordellos, posses, ranchers and sheriffs with amazement. This year we'll be putting the Wild into the West like never before.

• Crime Thursdays - Thursday 30 January and Thursday 6 February are devoted to detectives, murder, thrillers, evil, the law, and justice without any pre-planning or rehearsals. Crimes will be committed and murders solved. It's all in an evening's improv.

• Friday Family Musicals - Friday 31 January and Friday 7 February are devoted to The Musicprov. You know, those epic, fantastic, full musicals that have never been seen before, nor will be repeated ever again? Those.

• Saturday SuperScene - Saturday 1 and Saturday 8 February will see the return of last year's favourite format, SuperScene. Highly competitive, very skilled and expertly executed improv, in which directors create their scenes, pitch new ideas to the audience and only the most brilliant one survives and is completed.
