12th Annual London 50-Hour Improvathon, THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE FIFTY, Is Set In The Wild West
By: Stephi Wild Oct. 15, 2018
The 50-Hour Improvathon, an epic improvised comedy soap opera in 25 hilarious episodes staged over a single weekend and starring many of the world's leading improvisers, is one of London's must-see-to-be-believed annual comedy highlights.
From Olivier Award Winners, The Showstoppers, with Extempore Theatre, Something for the Weekend and in association with Die Nasty and staged in the glorious period surroundings of Victorian Wilton's Music Hall, this year's epic is set in The Wild West and will pay homage to every kind of Western from Deadwood to Little House On The Prairie!
How will the little town of Wilton's Creek handle its gun laws? Who will be its new mayor in this time of crazy political upheaval? And what happens when gunslingers, ranchers and cowgirls go without sleep for 50 hours?
It starts at 7.00pm on Friday February 15, 2019 and plays in two-hour episodes continuously to Sunday February 17 at 9.00pm - yes, right through the nights! - with a special 'Family Episode' on Sunday February 17 at 11.00am that's suitable for kids of all ages!
