Project2: Improvised Science Fiction at VAULT
Merry January!
My first show back was Project2 opening for the wonderful Questing Time. It's a live Dungeons and Dragons show that I highly recommend you watch. The Maydays have been working hard doing improv with companies such as Samsung, Investec and Otsuka. I've also been tucked away in a small cottage editing my improv book which will be out later this year. I'll keep you posted on that.Now to February and VAULT Festival!
London VAULT Festival Shows:
Happily Never After
I'm so excited to be playing at the incredible VAULT festival in the tunnels at Waterloo.The Maydays present a twisted musical tale inspired by the style of Tim Burton. Playful, creepy and full of black comedy, this delightfully dark experience is different every time.1st - 5th February at 9:15pm. Book!
Project2: Geekeasy
Geekeasy is a comedy night for nerds including stand-up, sketch, improvisation and competitive PowerPoint presentations. With live soundtrack by Lemon Jelly’s Fred Deakin.We have shows at 4:45 and 8pm on Saturday 25th February with Briony Redman, Paul Foxcroft, the RH Experience and more! Book!
Project2: Improvised Science Fiction
Project2 improvise science fiction; the dialogue, the story, the characters, the score and the tech. Expect something moody like Solaris, something fun and silly like Futurama, or something elsewhere on that famous Solaris-Futurama scale.
1st - 5th March at 7:45pm
There is so much cool stuff at VAULT it's ridiculous. I'd also recommend taking a look at MMORPG, A Hundred Different Words for Love, Do Not Adjust Your Stage, The RH Experience and Bagmanimous for starters...
