Highly recommend!
I went to see this show with family and friends.
Really fun concept and if you like comedy and fantasy it is a perfect fit!
As the improvisational aspect is dependent on dice rolls don’t be shy to raise your hand for a dice roll as it makes the show much more fun and entertaining!

A fantastic show for fans of TTRPGs. Captures the unpredictable nature of playing RPGs and combines it with creative audience interaction to keep the performers and audience on their toes.

Yes, mistakes were made, by the producer of this show. It was dreadful, there must have been a few planks in the audience to laugh. At what??? If had sat at the back I’d have walked out. A total waste of money.

This show made me think that this was a group of aspiring drama students who thought they would have a bash at Impro. It was terrible. The room however seemed to b filled with other drama students who thought it hilarious. Please guys, don’t do this again next year, go instead and watch other plays and marvel at what is really going on at the Fringe. You need to hone your acting skills too.

Let me tell you what mistake was made: Putting on this awful show.
I had a bad feeling when the music playing as people were sitting down was an atrocious MIDI track.
The structure sucked, the actors and the director were terrible at acting and improv, and not funny. The gimmick of the dice rolls was not well thought out in relation to the setting, and the players did not follow the rules they set out for themselves. Basic improv rules, of "yes, and?" , not talking over each other, not answering with questions, not repeating what the other player said, we're completely ignored.
I feel totally ripped off of £11 and it makes me suspicious of any paid Fringe performances.
The only person with talent was the long-haired guy, he was quick-witted and funny, he should find a better group.
Terribly amateurish.

In this fast-paced frolic our intrepid adventurers are constantly thwarted in their quest by the sudden requirement to speak in rhyme, in a funny accent or switch character or genre depending on what number, you, the audience, throw. No two shows are the same, come and join in the fun. Only five more performances to go.

What will happen? No one knows, but you are guaranteed to be laughing the whole way through! Join the campaign through audience participation via dice roll, with each number making the cast do something different, meaning the show is new every time. If you don't like audience participation (like me), don't worry! There is no pressure to roll the dice, you can simply pass them along and continue to watch the mayhem unfold. It's a great show to kick off a late night or perfect to close out a long day - definitely worth a watch!

Not my cup of tea, felt like a regular school performance. Venue was uncomfortably hot. Not worth the money.

Excellent show, very engaging and keeps performers on their toes while getting the audience to change the course of the play. I laugh a looooooot!

Really, really funny improv show! Several members of the audience had dice - the show changed direction with each roll of the dice - watching the cast members dealing with "complete the scene in a funny accent", "murder someone", "switch characters for the scene" and "be in love with a character in the scene" plus many others was brilliant
Laughing from start to finish with really good performances - definitely recommend to go see this.

A truly hilarious improv show, that takes the basic premise of Dungeons and Dragons and literally makes the audience roll with it. The use of dice made the whole improvisation process run smoothly that created a fantastical and really enjoyable experience.
If you want a good laugh this is the best dice roll you'll make this fringe.

This show had me in stitches. The dice rolling for the improv is such a novel idea and so well executed by the talented cast. The on the whim quips that were made in response to the improv were always on point and didn’t miss at all.

What a hilarious show! I was crying with laughter! The actors’ improv skills were amazingly funny, and I loved the audience participation aspect of rolling a dice to decide what the actors have to do. Whether you’re familiar with DnD/RPG or not, you will find this show truly funny and entertaining.

Hilarious show with amazing actors. The dice rolling the audience were able to do was such a fun touch. Couldn't recommend this show more, so worth it
