Director Adam Meggido says ‘We are thrilled to be taking the Improvathon to Pleasance London, the perfect setting for a weekend of cabaret and Victoriana! It’s like bingeing your favourite Netflix show for a whole weekend – but LIVE!!!’
The 50-hour completely improvised comedy soap opera in 25 hilarious episodes, kicks off at 7pm on Friday and plays continuously until 9pm on Sunday (yes, right through the nights!) with a live band and refreshments available throughout. There’s even a special ‘Family Episode’ at 11am on Sunday, suitable for kids of all ages!
You can watch any one standalone episode - starting every 2 hours - or stay for more. Those who watch the whole event describe it as life-changing!

And who will win the title of ‘The Greatest Show on Earth’?
