The Olivier Award-winning West End hit ‘Showstopper! The Improvised Musical’ is back for a 15th year. The show is returning to its home at The Grand in the Pleasance Courtyard for the month of August at a new time of 5.30pm. Last year’s run was in the Top 3 best reviewed show of the entire Fringe! Musical comedy at its finest, the show comes direct from its West End residency at the Cambridge Theatre and a nationwide tour. Every night is opening night for the hottest new musical in town; there's just one problem – the writer hasn't written a note and needs your help. ‘Showstopper!’ is completely improvised and genuinely entirely different every night. Tickets £22.50, https://tickets.edfringe.com/whats-on/showstopper-the-improvised-musical?day=06-08-2024.
