GMIF: Drunk Classics present: Sense and Sensibility

“Know your own happiness.” Austen’s tale of restraint versus abandon—where emotions are tightly corked, feelings occasionally spill over, and heartbreak lingers like a very genteel hangover.

At the start an audience member is given the bell and they have the power - The cast must drink any time they ring it and will keep doing so until they’ve reached the end of the performance. The show is both a retelling and an improvised meta commentary on the story.

This is a longform comedy show with live music and the odd song thrown in for good measure.

This show is part of the Greater Manchester Improv Festival (GMIF) 5th-7th June 2026. From up and coming acts to award-winning show the festival showcases local talent and visiting shows. For the 2026 festival there are 20 shows and 4 workshops with tickets for all shows just £5! Once you've done booking a ticket for this one, why not check out all the other fantastic shows too?
