Project Quillarious

Introducing Quillarious! A brand new comedy format!

Quillarious is what happens when a room full of people attempt to write five minutes of stand up collectively in an hour. It’s panel show meets comedy workshop as MC Alastair Sadler leads two teams of point hungry audience through a bunch of exercises designed to fluff out the funnies. 

Will we succeed? Who knows, but we’ll have a bunch of fun along the way.

Experience required = None! Admission = £0 Embarrassment = None, Just a huge sense of being at the cutting edge of comedy, joy, well being, happiness, and lowering the possibility of nuclear war (none declared at time of publication) ... and it might be funny.

So what’s Quillarious? It’s a new comedy show, a fun evening out and it’s Free!

The idea’s been nibbling away at my brain for several years. Just after I’d been on Kate Smurthwaite’s comedy course I went up to the Edinburgh Fringe and saw a couple of free shows that really grabbed my attention. The ongoing and fabulous Quiz In My Pants hosted by  Nike Bolsover and the wonderfully brutal Car Crash. My experience as a dance teacher told me that the audience can often be far funnier than acts. All they need is the right fluffy environment and a bit of leadership. Well a bunch of years later I have created a format for a show that is totally new.

Quillarious combines the focus of a panel show with the creativity of a comedy writing workshop. We, as in you, me and a room full of people, have a mission. To pull out of the ether five minutes of brand new, fresh ‘n sparkling comedy material in just one hour!
