Spooky Halloween improv show where a cast turns the audience's anonymous whispers about ghosts and ghoulish pranks into improvised comedy.
The Secret Show comes to Fishergate Point Studios on Saturday 31 October, part of the Nottingham Comedy Festival line-up. It's an improvised comedy night that works on a simple, slightly mischievous premise: the audience provides the material, and the performers build the show around it.
Before the night starts, you're invited to slip in your secrets anonymously—no names, no judgements—and the cast takes those whispers and turns them into improvised sketches and stories made up on the spot. The whole thing is built from the room's hidden truths, so what ends up on stage depends entirely on what the crowd is willing to admit. Because it's all improvised, no two nights are the same; the sketches are written in real time, and the stories are spun from the secrets that happen to be in the pot that evening.
This particular run is a special, spooky edition, and the theme is right there in the date. The show is hunting for the spookiest secrets of all—ghosts seen, ghoulish pranks played, and the kind of things that fit a Halloween night. If you've got a story that leans into the supernatural or the slightly unsettling, that's exactly what they're looking for. You can slip your secret in before the show starts, and the improvisers take it from there.
