About Leamprov
Leamprov presents this improvised comedy show at The Saloon Bar as part of Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The Circus of Public Opinion turns audience grievances into courtroom drama — but the judge is a clown. Audiences bring their petty arguments, and a panel of justice-driven clowns hears the evidence before passing judgement in front of a crowd of bystanders. The show is fully improvised, drawing entirely on suggestions from the room, which means adult themes and light swearing may arise unplanned. The show runs 60 minutes and is for audiences aged 18 and over. Tickets are £8.
Why see this show?
Bring your pettiest grievance and let the clowns decide. Entirely improvised and audience-fuelled, this is the kind of show where anything can happen — and the verdict is always final.
