About the show
Mistakes Were Made: Shiver Me Timbers! is an improv comedy theatre show by Bottoms Up Theatre, an amateur company, performed at Theatre 2 during Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Three heroes find themselves on a boat rather than a dungeon, in a treasure hunt gone wrong — and it's the audience's dice rolls that shape the action. Running for 50 minutes, this is the company's third outing at the Edinburgh Fringe, once again held at Surgeon's Hall. The show is suitable for those aged 16 and over.
Why see this show?
A tabletop improv adventure that puts the audience in control via their own dice rolls — chaotic, funny and genuinely different each time. Great for anyone who has ever wanted to steer the ship, quite literally.
