Overview

David Elms Describes A Room is a stand-up comedy show built around improvisation, in which David Elms creates an imagined space alongside the audience. It is staged at Monkey Barrel Comedy in Edinburgh.

The show is an improvised comedy performance in which David Elms works with the audience to construct a comedy mind palace in real time. Rather than following a fixed script, the material is shaped by the room itself, so each performance develops differently from the last.

The production has already been seen at the Edinburgh Fringe and during a residency at London's Soho Theatre, and is now on a second UK tour. Reviews quoted by the producers praise its feat of memory and world-building, and describe it as one of the more original comedy shows around.

Every ticket includes a seat in the auditorium. The show suits anyone interested in improvised comedy and audience participation. Monkey Barrel Comedy, at 9-12 Blair Street, is a venue that mainly hosts stand-up comedy and has been named Scotland's Best Comedy Venue by the Chortle Awards since 2020.
