Slapdash International - festival for improvisation

Slapdash International, London's longest running festival for improvisation is now in its 6th year! That means four whole nights of top-notch performers from all over the world and the UK, including Dummy (iO Chicago, US), Teatribù (Italy), Do Not Adjust Your Stage (UK) and The Lusty Mannequins (CAN). And as an exciting bonus, on Thursday we’ll hook up a live connection with iO Chicago so improvisers from the world famous Del Close founded improv theatre can play LIVE with our London performers! The festival also includes a week of workshops by Dummy's Colleen Doyle ('Hilarious and great - take her class') and Jason Shotts ('A Grandmaster of improv'), Teatribù's Mico Pugliares, Neil Casey and Anthony Atamanuik from UCB Theatre and The Lusty Mannequin's Ashley Comeau and Connor Thompson ('The funniest duo since Leopold and Loeb'). I know, I know, we’re spoiling you. . .

The Slapdash Festival was first held in 2010 at the Old Vic Tunnels in Waterloo and is the longest running international festival for improvisation in London. Previous international guests include Parallelogramophonograph (Austin, Texas), The Sufferettes (Toronto, Canada) and Shannon O'Neill and Alan Starzinsky of The UCB Theatre in New York.
