Game Shows and Mega Cabaret at The London Improv Comedy Club

Tuesday 8th November
THE FAUX PAS
and
FINGERS ON BUZZARDS

There's been a murder! An ACTUAL murder. Oh holy Mongolia, that's bad news. Death in a theatre is so bad for backstage morale; all the dancers cry and I'm not allowed to 'console' them anymore.
But do not fear, The Faux Pas are here: experts in the art of improvised crime-solving. Let Detective Super-Intendant Rosy Fordham guide you and her team of CSImprovisers through the who-what-&-wherefores of the murder. Hopefully by the time we go for a break, the meany-murder-chap will be bought to justice. And spanked.

Then the questioning carries on as we all prepare to put our Fingers On Buzzards... the only improvised pub-quiz/game show/comedy show mash-up in existence. Except for the one on Canada. But that was made by the same people so it's okay.
The audience are blessed/blighted with their own mascot improviser in a fight to be crowned "The Most Knowledgeable About Weird Stuff". It's a title we all hope for. Admit it.
"A bit of a find"
