Following hailed seasons in London and Edinburgh, Paul Merton and Suki Webster, two of the UK's leading improvisers, present an evening of wonderfully unscripted cutting-edge humour.

 Full of fast, fabulously funny improvised games, scenes, stories and laugh out loud surrealism, these two masters of comedy improvisation join forces with their very special guests to create cascades of laughter and joyful silliness.

Paul is a resident guest on BBC Radio 4’s Just A Minute and is an established face on TV shows such as the hugely popular Have I Got News For You, Room 101, Paul Merton Looks at Alfred Hitchcock (BBC4/2), Paul Merton’s Birth of Hollywood (BBC 2) and his travel series for Channel 5, Paul Merton’s Adventures which covered his travels in India, China and Europe. His autobiography, Only When I Laugh reached the Sunday Times bestseller Top 10 and he has co-starred with Suki in Motorhoming with Paul Merton and Suki Webster for two series on Channel 5.

Suki is a founder member of Paul Merton's Impro Chums and has toured the world with them. She has also appeared in a West End run of One Word Improv with Eddie (Suzy) Izzard.  In 2021 and 2023, Suki co-starred in two series of Motorhoming with Paul Merton and Suki Webster on Channel 5.  My Obsession, a comedy drama series, which she wrote and starred in, was aired on Radio 4 in June 2019.  Other TV work includes Giles Wemmbley Hogg (BBC 2) and Ross Noble’s directorial debut The Catchment (Sky.) She has also written five documentaries for BBC TV.
