The Maydays present: Happily Never After
Award-winning improvisers The Maydays bring their 5-star show to Bristol Improv Theatre this Halloween weekend: a darkly comedic, twisted musical tale spun from gothic themes and warped fairy tales. Starting from your suggestion, the cast conjures a gothic story that's different every time, brought to life with an improvised live soundtrack.
Award-winning improv company The Maydays return to Bristol Improv Theatre for a very special Halloween weekend run of Happily Never After: a darkly comedic, twisted musical tale spun from gothic themes and warped fairy tales.
Starting from one audience suggestion, the cast conjures a gothic story, with song and music that's equal parts eerie and hilarious, and always utterly unpredictable. Strange characters lurk around every corner, things are rarely what they seem, and something is definitely not quite right. It’s all brought to life with a fully improvised live soundtrack that shifts and swells with the story as it unfolds.
The Maydays have packed houses and earned standing ovations with this five-star show over ten years at improv festivals across the UK and Europe, building its reputation as a show you should not miss. Expect a creepy, mischievous, and thoroughly fantastical hour of theatre, where nothing is scripted.
Whether you're after a dark thrill or just a brilliantly funny night out, this is the perfect way to spend your Halloween weekend. Come and see where the story takes you…
★★★★★ Fantastic performances... improvisational theatre at its best. — Broadway Baby
★★★★★ Emotionally touching, incredibly funny, rich in narrative twists and charm. — The Reviews Hub
★★★★ Dark and hilarious, The Maydays prove yet again that they are maestros of their craft. — The Wee Review

Sink your teeth into our Halloween-themed cocktails in the bar before and after the show.

On Saturday night, join us for our Happily Never After Party to celebrate Halloween in our bar after the show with music, games, and more!
