Comedy improv show that turns medical dramas, soaps and telenovelas into a night of chaotic fun and unexpected twists.
What's The Game?! Holby Sh*tty comes to the Reading Biscuit Factory on Friday 27 November, an improv night that takes its cues from medical dramas, soap operas and telenovelas. The organisers describe it as a soap opera gone hilariously off-script, and they frame it as something other than your usual improv show, aimed at fans of over-the-top medical chaos and quick-witted comedy. If you've spent any time with Holby City or Casualty and wondered what would happen if the scripts were thrown out and the cast just made it up as they went, this is that.
It's a night of chaotic fun and unexpected twists, with the medical drama setting serving as the starting point for whatever the performers build on the night. Because it's improv, the plot doesn't follow a set path, and the 'soap' elements—the sudden twists and high drama—are part of the draw. It's the kind of show that works best when you're in the room, watching it unfold in real time.
The venue is the Reading Biscuit Factory, an independent cinema and arts space in the heart of Reading. It's known for a relaxed atmosphere and a programme of independent and international cinema, with a bar and cafe running alongside and a capacity of around 200. It's a good spot for a night out in town, especially if you're coming with a group.
