BattleActs! is Brixton's legendary £5.00 comedy night since 2009

BattleActs! is an award-winning, multi-five star late-night comedy party show that has performed to rave reviews around the country. The show sees two teams of fearless improvisers pitched against each other by a ball-busting compere. Each team attempts to prove their worth and battle it out for the ultimate prize: the audience’s respect!

BattleActs! take what Whose Line Is It Anyway? and popular panel shows such asMock the Week and Have I Got News For You have and combine it with a high-octane mix of seemingly impossible challenges, and incredible physicality; such as Boris (a nine-foot invisible giant who tortures murder suspects), improvised Shakespearean sonnets, and Story Die (where famous works of literature aremercilessly reinvented at incredible speed). No two shows are the same, with forfeits, (which can see you dancing on live mouse traps) and themed nights to keep everyone on their toes!

Recommended by The Independent (Top Ten Comedy Shows), TimeOut (Critic’s Choice) and a Smirnoff Hot Pick, this hilarious, no-holds-barred improv smackdown is not to be missed.
