THE SHOW

Start your Sunday evening the right way with - laughing your face off with three great teams. 

Multiple Characters. Multiple Games. One Brain.

First and only of its kind, this fully improvised solo show features Monika Smith performing a hilarious one-act play entirely by herself. Monika inhabits six-plus characters, builds the world of the play—while simultaneously interrogating the mind creating them. With no other performers on stage, her brain becomes both collaborator and critic. Turning the internal process of improvisation into a fast, funny and unpredictable show.

Buoys prevent drowning, but Buoys Buoys Buoys prevent frowning. This show, a Harold, feature three of Belfast’s finest boys holding hands and floating around (figuratively) to the delight of onlookers. A Harold? With three people? Impossible! But through the power of friendship, anything is possible.

This show is dumb, fast, and silly. Come, and let Buoys Buoys Buoys lift your spirits. 

20% Less are a multi-national, all-female long-form comedic improv troupe created in 2017 in London by UCB enthusiasts Lucie, Maddy and Mariana. Catch their twist on the Pretty Flower mixed with a La Ronde.
