David Elms Desribes A Room

A stand-up and improv comedy show by David Elms, who builds an imaginary comedy world alongside the audience. The show is on a second UK tour and is staged at Fairfield Social Club in Manchester.

David Elms Describes A Room is a stand-up and comedy show built on improvisation. Veteran improviser David Elms works with the audience to construct a comedy mind palace on stage, so each performance takes its shape from the suggestions made in the room. The production is on a second UK tour and follows earlier runs at the Edinburgh Fringe and a residency at London's Soho Theatre.

Critics quoted in the publicity, including The Guardian, The List, The Skinny and Chortle, praise the show's memory work, world-building and sense of shared imagination. Comedians Phil Wang, Tim Key and Nick Mohammed have also commented on it, with Key and Chortle describing it as one of the most original comedy shows around.

The show is staged at Fairfield Social Club, a theatre on Irk Street in Manchester M4, and will appeal to those interested in improvised comedy and audience participation.
