Edinburgh 2022: Review: AUSTENTACIOUS, Underbelly
Review of Austentacious at the Underbelly
In its ninth Fringe year, Austentacious is an improvised comedy based on audience suggestions that attempts to recreate the lost works of Jane Austen. Audiences come prepared with a book title and the peformers have to create that story.
As a fan of several of the individual performers, I have been hesitant to go along to Austentacious for a long time as I don't know Jane Austen very well. It turns out, it absolutely doesn't matter. While there might be some in-jokes that I missed, I thoroughly enjoyed myself.
It is to be expected after working together for such a long time that this is one well-oiled machine. Organised chaos from start to finish, the group descend into delightful silliness- and clearly have a lot of fun doing it.
Austentacious guarantees a completely different show every performance so it is easy to see why they have so many repeat attendees.
