The Shrimps: Catch of the Day!

Improvised Comedy Extravanganza at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival

Venue: Wee Room 3, Sweet Teviot Place

Ahoy there!

Since forming at the University of Sheffield in 2006, The Shrimps have been wowing audiences all over the city, including a monthly set at South Yorkshire's longest running comedy club The Last Laugh, as well as making sell-out performances in Cambridge, Durham and Manchester.

Under the guidance of their Second-City trained director, The Shrimps have risen to become the north of England's premier improvised comedy troupe, supporting the Manchester Comedy Store's Slaughterhouse Live on the Sheffield date of their UK tour.

Making their debut appearance at the Fringe, the Shrimps are looking forward to being the smallest crustacean in the biggest comedy pond.

Every night is a world premiere, with the audience in control. Anything can happen, and it usually does!

And if that's not enough, The Shrimps will be spreading the love at workshops for all abilities, so jump on board, we'll provide the rod.

So come down check us out at Sweet Teviot Place
