‘I saw a butterfly flying out to sea. It will get lost out there and die’ - Iris Murdoch, The Sandcastle.

Long-limbed award-winner tries to pin down the things that we should really let go. A comedy show with live instrumentation, emotional manipulation and 'truly masterful gags, crafted with intellectual panache’ (Chortle). There’ll be freestyles as well, but they’ll probably be quite sad.

'Unashamedly clever and sparklingly original' ★★★★ The Arts Desk

‘Mines for laughs in esoteric places, consistently digs up comedy gold” ★★★★ The West Australian

‘An undoubtedly talented, intelligent performer with a show that's full of music, laughter and a few moments that make you think about what is important in life’ ★★★★ Broadway Baby

★★★★ (West Australian)

"impressive improvisational talent ... a lot of fast-paced, inventive, jolly good fun"

★★★★★ (Three Weeks, Edinburgh)

“Script-less brilliance, crowd captivated from start to finish, what more can I say? We reviewers are guilty of overusing certain buzzwords: ‘chemistry’, ‘great delivery’, and ‘entertainment value’ – you know the ones I mean. This show ticks every one of those boxes.”

★★★★ (Fringe Review)

"the best fun you can have in a confined space with over 50 strangers whilst still having your clothes on”

Chris Turner and Alice Winn abuse their psychic link for your amusement. Quirk-packed characters, quotable one-liners and sepia-tinged vignettes tumble out of this completely improvised exploration of everyday conversation.

Weathering an hour of tedious smalltalk, a visit to the hairdressers can be a conversational chore. From this point, UK improvisers Alice Winn and Chris Turner unravel and reweave a whole host of memorable characters, imagined environments and poignant tales in a high-wire hour of unscripted comedy.

The Haircut begins the moment one of them takes a seat in the other’s salon. From thin air, they spin a web of individuals, relationships and stand-alone scenes that will leave audiences wondering how such feats are possible, as each new story unfurls from their conversation, and the shop fills with a rich tapestry of comedic characters.

Different every night, the people of Perth will want to spend another hour in the company of a pair whose warm and easy interaction demonstrate their complete trust in one another.

Acclaimed improvised comedy quintet Racing Minds, conjure, from nothing, a 50’s-style comic radio-play!

After four sold-out years at Edinburgh Festival Fringe and sold-out Australian debut in 2015, Racing Minds are returning to Perth. 

The show is an improvised homage to the adventurous radio theatres of yore and it's delighted live audiences in attendance and listeners to our podcast - we record every performance and release our favourites as a 'real' radio play to over 500,000 Soundcloud followers.

As a genuinely improvised piece, complete with plot-relevant news broadcasts and audience inspired songs, every performance is completely different and unique to that evening. Every show features a guest "Foley Artist" (local and international guests in Perth) and our experience and interplay as a group means there's no such thing as a boring show! 

Old-fashioned microphones, sharp suits, greased hair... all the hallmarks of classic radio adventures with one unique twist: this time the audience is in charge.
