About The Showstoppers
The Showstoppers return to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe for a 16th year with this intimate version of their show, performed just for Shedinburgh. The premise: it is opening night for a new musical, but the writer has not written a note and needs the audience's help. The result is a brand-new comedy musical created entirely from audience suggestions on the night. The show runs for 60 minutes at Shedinburgh Fringe Festival, tickets are £12, and the age guidance is 16 and over.
Why see this show?
A completely improvised musical created from audience suggestions on the night — no two performances are the same. At 60 minutes and £12, it is a genuinely unpredictable way to spend a Fringe evening, performed by a company returning for a 16th year.
