Showstopper! The Improvised Musical

This just blew my mind. How these guys are able to create such polished, hilarious, silly, brilliant, clever content ON-THE-FLY, is completely beyond me. Next level talent from the cast and the band and the tech. Awesome.

The entire cast just radiates energy! They embrace plot-twists with vigour and vivacity! The band is perfectly suited for the show, with the two musical directors using their specialities within the musical theatre canon to truly compliment the story action. There is a never a dull moment.

A talented group with lots of energy. An enjoyable show - a fine way to end our Fringe day.

Ice to See You to See You Ice was a marvel of entertainment sticking to the audience led skeleton structure and then creating a story that unfolds with hilarity and warmth. What this actors do is nothing short of breath taking and the musicians really bring out the best in them allowing for dramatic shifts that are side splittingly funny!

What a blast! Our show was called Two Hearts and the location was a magicians' speed dating venue :):):) So clever, witty and funny, brilliant cast of actors and musicians. The 'eye lock and the clap' will live with me for quite a while:)

Acting, singing, dancing & inventive comedy all rolled into the one show. There is so much talent in this show, it could be annoying…but I was laughing too much to mind.

Lots of fun!

Loved every second. The cast and witty and very talented, the best thing we saw at the fringe all week!

Ice to See You to See You Ice…!!! Best show I’ve seen at the Fringe by far!! Hilarious, entertaining and such great music. If you haven’t seen Showstoppers go see it, it’s just awesome!!

Unbelievable talent, this show is must see. I really wanted to see it twice this year and that speaks for itself! These guys are truly artists, including the fantastic band, and it always leaves me wondering how on earth they pull it off every night with the same incredible quality. I have rated only two shows 5 stars this year, and this is one of them.

Fabulously talented cast and funny too. Have been before. Great entertainment

We went twice in a week, both shows outstanding

Phenomenally talented cast. So good my daughter went two nights running and was buzzing from both shows.
Clever, funny, engaging and a bloody great night out.
Improv is a wonderful art and this cast are superb.
A must see show.

Incredible jaw dropping virtuosity. How do they do it? A hugely entertaining performance.

This is a fringe must-see if you like improv. Absolutely genius skills, great songs, and an insanely talented cast

Got to see a show about an (unsuccessfully well-kept) Elephant sanctuary, with American accents suddenly transitioning to a family with Surrey accents. As for the songs, I wish to get access to these songs, because they were all genius, the host of the show kept outstanding control of the audiences' wishes for styles of musicals, and the actors and musicians on board. The actors are proper geniuses, I would have gone more than once, and I probably will, soon.

Second year in a row watching this captivating company. As they say - every night is different. Both of those we saw were hilarious. Would definitely go again

I must have gone on a bad day for them but god it was dull for the most part. Some really funny parts from the improv comedy side of things but nothing added at all from the music except intensely repetitive choruses. Huge day for fans of plagiarism and cultural stagnation though!

Such incredible talent, ensemble work, choreography, lights, set changes, rhyme, plot, style characters and most of all singing with harmonies and fantastic nuanced music. Wham! What a show!

Really funny show performed by geniuses in improvisation - wish I could’ve gone more than once to see how it changed

Another absolutely flawless show, and a masterclass in improv theatre. A must-see for everyone!

Absolutely hilarious! Treat yourself

The improvisational skills were on point, and the performance was coherent and well executed. The variety of music and depth of character they were able to fit into the improvisation was astounding. There were a few songs that got a little too repetitive, but most of them were surprisingly complex.

I've seen Showstopper a lot and they are always brilliant. As we were going into the venue the fire alarm went off and we were evacuated! 30 minutes later we were watching 'Burn Baby Burn' a Firestarter musical set in a New York Fire station. Fantastic as always, incredibly slick work from all departments - improv at its best.

This was such a fantastic show that blew me away with the talent and quick wit of these fabulous actors. Great vocals and harmonies with loads of laughs. What more do you want?_Well another ticket! ☆☆☆☆☆

The skill of these insanely talented people is unreal. A brilliant show that will never happen again!

Amazing! 5/5 stars. Who could pull together 1 hour of musical with the title of a Tell me about it Stud (based on a stud farm in Kerry) using musical styling from Anything Goes, Chicago, Evil Dead and Notre Dame and not only make it funny but also totally professional? Wonderful hilarious entertainment for all the family, including our 8 year old. Just brilliant.

An impressive and slickly created musical featuring fantastic singers.

This show is so unique. I have never seen anything quite like it. So smart, absolutely hilarious and you feel like you are a part of the show. It is so good. Amazing performances. Highly recommend

I smiled and laughed throughout the whole performance, it blows my mind that this was improvised … go see you won’t be disappointed!

As per usual brilliant and screamingly funny. read my review here
