This Halloween, we invite you to step onto the comedy ghost-train and join five of London’s most fearless improvisers on a journey into the unknown as we explore the life and recent death of a character you help to invent.

Three strangers have received a mysterious summons to take part in a séance. And so have you.
A voice is calling from beyond the grave! Who is it? We don’t know. What does it want? We don’t know. Why don’t we know? We don’t know. But probably because everything about the deceased will be improvised. With your help.

Like Derek Acorah or Psychic Sally, we’re making it us as we go along in… Séance Fiction.

Nominated for Best Actress at the 2014 British Independent Film Festival, Alison has worked everywhere - from Shakespeare's Globe to The Basil Brush Show* for the BBC. As an improviser, she guests with Chortle award winners Austentatious: The Improvised Jane Austen Novel. She is also a member of 5 star improv super-group the Free Association.

Suki Webster - Comedy Store Player, Paul Merton's Impro Chum, Eddie Izzard's co-conspirator in Impro M.D. and One-Word Improv, and Ross Noble’s for his run of shows at the Cutty Sark. Suki has developed her own Impro Format, The Guest Speaker.
