The Maydays Present: Confessions! - our brand new show which premiered at the Brighton Festival Fringe 2011

Picture

"They’re funny, confident, imaginative, charming and not afraid of making themselves look ridiculous. They will turn your secrets and stories into something to make you laugh your socks off. Go see them if you can. And take along a juicy confession or two" 
**** Fringe Review May 2011

What sets The Maydays apart from other comedy improv groups is that you can tell it is completely made up, not over rehearsed sickly slick performances with improv shoe-horned in. ‘Confessions’ are provided by the audience just prior to the start of the show. First class improv-comedy.

...it was an extremely impressive and fluid production. In fact, at times, it was incredible to remember that the show was improvised, since many of the jokes were worthy of direct entry into a comedy script. Certainly, the audience were loving what they were watching

The show where you see your very own stories and secrets turned into comedy before your eyes. Award-winning, critically acclaimed improv comedians The Maydays and their awe-inspiring musician create this completely improvised show using only their wits and the audience's confessions. At the start of, and sometimes during the performance you’ll have the chance to share your stories anonymously (or openly!). Everything including the dialogue, words, music and “choreography” is completely made up on the spot. This is improv like you've never seen before!

The Maydays Present: Tonight's Top Story

Picture
Every performance of Tonight's Top Story is inspired by newspaper articles cut out by the audience just minutes before curtain time. This is improv without tricks, gimmicks or games, just a live, comedic exploration, through scenes and songs, of the secret heart of your city. It is the world only hinted at by your local paper, but finally revealed by the comedic x-ray vision of The Maydays.
