Description

Come merry folk from yonder to craft an original tale with the aid of your Story Master and a sprinkle of imagination. Fill in a character sheet, then watch your creations spring to life as they embark on an epic quest (or go way off track!). Will they fight a dragon? Save a village of pixies? Or get stuck in a dungeon and eat each others' shoes? Anything can happen! Your characters, your locations: their very fate is in your hands. An interactive, unscripted fantasy fun-filled show for all.

Have followed Side Quest for two year as good always travelled to see them at TheFringe and they were better than ever, thoroughly recommend them.

Creative comedy at its best - crossing the boundaries of D and D, improv and Pythons' Holy Grail takes a lot of skill and ingenuity. SQ carry this of with aplomb. Anyone able to make the Mid-Cuban Missile Crisis funny deserves great credit. Music content equally imaginative. Signed, the Vicious Chicken of Bristol.

Wasn’t sure what to expect, but really glad we came! On our way in we were asked to create a character (bit like DnD) and give a location. These were used by the cast to drive the content of the show. Anyone who can combine Margaret Thatcher, Tommy Fury, Beave the Omnipotent and the 8-and-a-half circle of hell deserves respect! We got to vote on the choices facing the characters, roll a dice to see how well they’d do but it wasn’t one of those shows where audience participation drags ‘volunteers’ out of their seats. I especially liked the way they kept all these random parts of the story in their minds, jumped straight into whatever character they were given, and still managed to bring the story to a satisfactory ending in time. For a first show, there were no fluffs or stumbles, so they’d obviously prepared themselves well. And every show will be different! Well worth going along.

Found this show at the half price hut and would’ve paid full price and more! Quick on their feet, easy audience participation and surprise wow factor is the talented guitarist. Hilarious and great vibes!
