About the show
Adult Panto [Unscripted] is a free, fully improvised adult pantomime from Matty Hurst Productions Ltd, part of PBH's Free Fringe at Bar during the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Every character, scene and even the title are decided live by the audience on the night, so no two shows are ever the same. The show runs for 55 minutes and is strictly for ages 18 and over. Content includes scenes of a sexual nature, strong language and audience participation.
Why see this show?
An adults-only panto where absolutely nothing is decided in advance — the audience picks everything, from the title down. Rude, chaotic and free to attend, it's a dependably unpredictable way to spend 55 minutes at the Fringe.
