On the 13th of December, the Maydays invite you to hold on to some nightmares before giving in to Christmas when they bring their 5-star improvised show, Happily Never After, to the Bristol Improv Theatre. A ‘darkly comedic’ twisted musical tale inspired by gothic themes, fairytales, and the warped imaginations that brought us Lemony Snicket, Beetlejuice, Shockheaded Peter and Grimm’s Tales.

Plucked from the seed of your suggestion, The Maydays will take you on a unique journey – weaving a gothic tale that’s completely different every time. There’s no telling what strange characters, innocent beasts or talking objects you might meet along the way!

The Maydays have been wowing audiences across the UK and Europe with packed houses and standing ovations for their spontaneous show, which Reviews Hub called ‘touching, incredibly funny’ and ‘rich in narrative twists and charm’.

With a bespoke, improvised soundtrack for every show, this will be a truly creepy, mischievous and fantastical experience.
