Review: MISCHIEF MOVIE NIGHT, The Pleasance - Edinburgh Festival Fringe

An evening of improvisation by Mischief Theatre can be unpredictable to say the least, but it is 100% guaranteed not to disappoint!

On this particular evening, we were treated to a horror musical. Set on a singles cruise, with a public information film and Tesco thrown into the mix, what could possibly happen?

Mischief Theatre are, of course, on top form and we would expect nothing less from them, with their history of theatrical, (and also televisual) hits.

With Jonathan Sayer as Oscar, who guides the audience through the “movie” complete with out takes and DVD specials, Henry Lewis, Henry Shields, Charlie Russell, Dave Hearn and Rhyanna Alexander-Davis are outrageously funny and quick thinking, but special mention must go to Harry Kershaw who gave the best plot twist we have ever seen! It was pure genius!

For an unpredictable and side splittingly funny evening, get yourself along to the Pleasance for a night of mischief and movies!

Incredible, amazing and brilliant!

***** Five stars
