Fast, funny and entertaining, the team nightly pull off something incredibly ambitious. They create a real musical from scratch, not just an impro night with songs but a full story with stories and characters you can care about, a live band of incredible musicians, and spontaneous but seamless choreography.
After making a debut at the Edinburgh Festival in 2008,[2] the show began a residency at the Kings Head Theatre[3] before transferring to The Drill Hall.[4] It has toured the UK, Ireland, Singapore, Canada, India, Belgium, Italy and Hong Kong, and in 2010 began recording a 25 minute version for BBC Radio Four. In February 2011 it opened at the Ambassadors Theatre in London's West End. In September 2015, it opened at the Apollo Theatre in the West End for a limited run of 10 weeks.
The show has occasionally featured guest performers, including the British comic actor Matt Lucas. It has been honoured with several industry awards including the Mervyn Stutter Spirit of the Fringe Award.
Showstopper! was created by Adam Meggido and Dylan Emery. Musical Director is Duncan Walsh Atkins.
