About the show
Alex Leam's Absolute Scenes is a free improv and game show panel show at The Garage, Edinburgh Festival Fringe, featuring improv, stand-up and acts from the festival getting burned by large candles. Hosted by Alex Leam through PBH's Free Fringe, the show was formerly called Improv Provocateur. The format involves ever-changing line-ups, new games and what the show itself describes as actual physical danger. Running 60 minutes, the show includes audience participation and strong language, and is suitable for adults aged 18 and above.
Why see this show?
A chaotic, good-humoured panel show with real unpredictability and a rotating cast of festival acts. The large candle element alone is worth showing up for — this is the kind of free Fringe show that generates genuine stories to tell afterwards.
