The Maydays are a Brighton-based improv group. They are fantastic and every year they do this improv comedy retreat.

Recently the blogs have been like a lost and found theme, or more like a found and shared post. Therefore the Christmas and New Year's gift from thecollective are these. Enjoy!!!

Ludus Ludius' perform 20 minute improvised musical (the rehearsal songs)

In our rehearsal for the Newport Comedy Festival where we performed our 20 minute improv comedy musical, Ludus Ludius Improv do songs based on a couple of suggestions.

In this song we had just stolen a melody and reeling off that we go into this tune, "Two Pints o Guiness"



In this song we started again as we lost inspiration, but we got a song out after. Not the best song, but certainly catchy.



In this song we found and lost our feet, but I blame... "Radiation Sickness"

A big thank you goes to the improvisers that gave so much effort into this show, Charlie Hammond, Osian Llew and Nathan Keates. Each improviser showed a tremendous amount of energy in the festival too for Tin Shed Production's Launch Pad 2011, as apart of the Newport Comedy Festival. Our "Racoon's Fishy G**ch" blew them away that night and we can be glad to gain such comments as "...you've been the best in this half..." We were in the first half, just in case you were wondering.

Emblem: Spontaneous Thoughts on Perception (a photo)

Two bearded men covering up their facial hair with pretend beards. Now how can we have hands to do the scene with... aha, the other players!
Stroke of luck there then, who would have thought the other improvisers had arms to use?
This was a great scene in which something marvellous happened, so much so that I do forget. Alike most of the week, so much joy and busy frantic flyering that my perception on what actually happened should be the next show. Reality versus memory.
I saw a large portion on 'In the Actor's Studio' yesterday with Liza Minneli and she metioned that she had been taught that all the bad memories can be re-told hilariously. Does this mean that the fringe was awful, as I can retell it as a magical time of splendour?
