The award-winning smash-hit comedy, as seen in the West End every week since 2022, and heard on BBC Radio 4, comes to you on a strictly limited tour.
For one delightful evening only, the all-star Austentatious cast will improvise a hilarious new Jane Austen novel, inspired entirely by a title from the audience. Performed in period costume with live musical accompaniment, it’s a riotous, razor-sharp show where swooning is guaranteed.
The revolving Austentatious cast include numerous, award-winning TV and Radio starring performers, including Cariad Lloyd (QI, Inside No.9, Griefcast, The Witchfinder), Joseph Morpurgo (Radio 4, Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee), Rachel Parris (The Mash Report, Live at the Apollo), Graham Dickson (After Life, The Witchfinder) and more.
"Ridiculously silly... wickedly funny." ***** The Times
"A joy to behold." **** The Guardian
"Brilliant, barmy improv." **** The Telegraph
"Sheer unbridled silliness." **** Evening Standard
