GMIF: Shakespeare on the Spot

The world clearly hasn’t enough Shakespeare, so this solo show improvises some more from audience suggestions. Your host (former university Shakespeare lecturer and current idiot) will transform whatever the Salford muses bring into new iambic speeches by some of the Bard’s most famous characters.

It could get silly. No asps, daggers, or skulls are permitted in the venue, but feel free to bring another hitherto unknown Shakespeare prop along!

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?
