Sara has written a musical about her own life! It’s a preview for her acclaimed solo show at the Edinburgh Fringe festival this year. “Sara Pascoe: The Musical” is the tale of a lady who lived from the 1980′s to 2012.

It’s a great story with some catchy tunes and many morals. Sara’s life features many TV appearances including Stand Up For The Week, Campus & Free Agents (C4); The Thick of It & Twenty Twelve (BBC).

Sara Pascoe will be supported by the local gang of impro-hoodies. The London Improv All-Stars are the best of the best improvisers on the estate. They may be tearing up the neighbourhood on scooters and BMXs but they mean you no harm… they just want to play.

Time: Doors 7:45pm, Show 8pm – 10pm with interval.

Cost: £5 on the door.

Where: The Miller, 96 Snowsfields Road, London, SE1 3SS.

I hope you’ll join us on Sunday, April 15th at six-time Canadian Comedy Award winner, Monkey Toast’s April preview.

Each show, David Shore, interviews a real celebrity guest. After an interview segment, the focus shifts to the Monkey Toast Players who use the interview as inspiration for their improvised scenes. The show then goes back and forth from interview to improv.

Special guest for April 15th: Jay Foreman!!

Improvisers: Rob Broderick, Sara Pascoe, Richard Soames, Charlotte Gittins, Javier Jaquin and Paul Foxcroft.

Also appearing are the Harold Teams: The Family Business & Problem Child!

Have we got a show for you this week…

Our very own Sara Pascoe will be previewing her all new stand-up show ‘Sara Pascoe: The Musical’. If you aren’t aware, Sara is totally legit! She’s starred in an array of British comedies in the last few years, including “The Thick of It”, “Campus”, “Free Agents” & “The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margret”.

Before that happens we will have a special Research Project presented by our very own Rachel Semigran! Essentially what’s happened is Rachel has collected a bunch of embarrassing and/or distressing personal stories from her ‘subjects’, and now she wants The Wilmops to improvise some comedy around them. A one-off treat that is not to be missed!

But before even that happens, we will have our other house team Robot Sauna performing a good ol’ fashioned Harold!

Time: Doors 7:00pm, Show 7:30pm.

Cost: £4 on the door.

Where: The Wilmington Arms, 69 Rosebery Ave., London, EC1R 4RL.
