10/10, one of the best small-group improvs at the Fringe! The actors worked super well together, the timing was great, and everyone contributed to the scenes with equal brilliance.
I'm so sorry that you had to work Nectar card points into a horror sketch, but you did it flawlessly. We will never forget that "ASDA IS A PALACE OF SIN!".

So fun we went twice! it really was different both shows, they even changed up the framing device.
We loved it, fun, witty and well Improvised. The anthology horror feel was just right! What a great show

A very enjoyable hour of solid, daft but intelligent, well-performed improv. In a nice room with real chairs. Great lighting which really sells the concept and 3 suggestions producing 3 full rounded stories with something a lot of scripted plays in Edinburgh lack. That being... Endings! Very nice indeed.

A last minute decision we made to see, but such a fun show to watch! A fun take on horror and improv, and I was especially impressed by the trio (cast illness) who held it together and supported each other. For my first ever improv show, this was so fun!

I've seen a couple different variations of improvised horror anthologies, but this is my favorite version of the format that I've ever seen. Well done to the improvisers for the development of this clever improvised narrative genre show.
The level of audience suggestion that these performers integrate into the show is just right! This was my favorite element of the show - It makes the audience part of the fun while adding delight (and horror!) to the whole spectacle. I also really love the use of the narrator to keep things moving a long especially given how tight the narratives need to be. The narrator is obviously a stand out performer, but when given a chance to shine - all of the performers are top notch narrative improvisers.
There were some moments during the last improvised story that could use some work - rejecting offers from fellow improvisers, asking questions to avoid decision-making/moving the story forward. But no doubt these improvisers will figure that out as the fringe continues. All in all: A great show!

Saw these guys yesterday and they were superb. They even made eachother crack up at some points.

A thoroughly enjoyable show. The actors were quick thinking and inventive and some very bizarre story lines and characters ensued! I didn’t stop laughing all the way through.
Go see it!
