Description
Help award-winning comedians build a new invention to save the world in this chaotic, hilarious show where you are in control. None of your problems are too big or too small for us to solve over one frantic hour of cardboard-covered mayhem. After selling out Dublin Fringe and appearing on Virgin Television this is Failed by Design. 'A masterclass in comedy' (FringeBiscuit.com). 'Visionary storytelling' (Lisa McGee and Lenny Abrahamson). 'I can't wait to see what they do next. They're gonna be big' (Alison Spittle).Please note that while all media gallery content is provided by verified members of the event, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society does not review or approve this content before it is posted.

I wasn't really that enthusied by it, if I am honest. Perhaps the audience (with fringe performers), did not help. I can see that it could be alot of fun, as the premise was clever. Also think coming to the end of the festival, it maybe tricky to keep that going for so many shows for so long.
Perhaps we just got unlucky.

An excellent show! Allie and Cian expertly helm the chaos of audience suggestions to make an excellent and hilarious hour.
Each show is completely different, so you can go multiple times, but definitely go at least once!

An innovative and extremely fun format that had me laughing from start to finish!
The most unique show I saw at the Fringe for sure

Our first show at Fringe. Wasn’t sure what to expect but was pleasantly surprised. Laughed the entire time and the audience participation was great! Worth seeing.

Loved this show! Unique format for a comedy show with an infectious chaotic joy. Allie and Cian shared stories (and cardboard creations) from past performances but still made us feel like our audience was special. Don't be scared by the audience interaction -- I was hesitant but loved being in the front row for the show (my partner's idea).
