All excellent improvisers, but you need a bigger cast! Three felt really limiting for some of your scenes, to the detriment of the narrative. Some mic issues as well, from my (terrible) seat, it was frequently difficult to catch all the lines.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐This funny and endearing show by Ghost Writer Theatre is improvised from start to finish and you only realise how impressive that is when you have been kept laughing every few minutes for an hour. There is even quite a meaty who dun it element at the end which is more engaging than ridiculous and is a bonus. Just a good lark and ideal for age nine upwards. Get in touch with Just the Tonic Bookings. Do book ahead because our show was a few seats short of a sell out at the caves night club on South Niddry Street

A really great performance by some very sharp improvisors. Highly recommended. A friend of mine saw it twice and enjoyed both shows.

Not sure if every show was as good as the version I saw but it was absolutely brilliant. If I have time, this is one I’d like to see a second time!!
