The Suggestibles' Impro Pantso 2023
This event has passed
Overview
No Script. No Score. No Kids!
Newcastle’s legendary improv comedy troupe is back with their glorious misadventure into the unknown, creating hilarious havoc on our Cinderella Stage.
You supply the suggestions. They supply the LAUGHS. Taking inspiration from your suggestions, the devilishly talented team will spin your ideas into a mythical musical tale of good versus evil, goodies v baddies, softies v hardies that will have you booing, cheering, singing, dancing, and rolling in the aisles with laughter. And it’s all made up. On the spot! Never seen before. Never ever to be seen again. Expect the unexpected and remember to leave the kids at home. This show is only for the naughty big variety.
Returning for its 16th year at Northern Stage, this untraditional panto has become a tradition all its own!

‘The best bit is watching and willing them to dig their way out of the ludicrous hole they’ve just put so much effort into digging for themselves in the first place… I suggest you go along!’- THE CHRONICLE
‘Wildly irreverent and zanily dreamlike… they make scripted comedy look like staying home to descale the kettle’- THE CRACK
