A brilliant new comedy masterclass… that doesn’t go quite to plan – a clown, improv and storytelling show created fresh for every audience by two Bristol comedy legends


A beleaguered acting lecturer channels twenty years of disappointment into a one-off masterclass amidst a backdrop of professional pressure and personal crisis… will a surprise guest be his ruin or saviour?

Neil Haigh’s experience with groundbreaking theatre company, Cartoon de Salvo, and Stewart Wright’s 30 years as a comic character actor (Smack The Pony, Bridget Jones’s Diary) combine exquisitely into the most perfect of stage duos. With BAFTA nominated Justin Sbresni as comedy consultant, this a rare and unique treat of an evening out.

“Stewart is one of the most gifted and funniest improvisers I have ever worked with. His natural ability to find truth and humour in every moment is a joy!”
Debbie Isitt, BAFTA-winning film director

“You leave awestruck at the power of the imagination and feeling like you’ve just been to the best party in town.”
Dominic Cavendish, Telegraph on Cartoon De Salvo
