Rhymes Against Humanity is the Midlands’ highly acclaimed improvised musical. No scripts, no pre-prepared tunes. Just a non-stop joyride of musical hilarity that’s all being created in the moment.

As theaters slowly reopen with new guidelines, this group of performers will attempt their biggest challenge yet, a fully improvised musical including social distancing (and other safety measures). 

The show starts with the title of a brand-new musical being picked from a hat full of audience suggestions. Then, from the opening number through to the very last note of the finale, everything is being created on the spot. This is improvised comedy at its most thrilling.

“The group’s timing, imagination, quick wit and speedy reactions are perfection. The members work so well together they must surely all be telepaths!” – Behind the Arras

Doors 6.30pm. Last entry 7.00pm
Performance starts 7.45pm prompt
