A live-directed, partially planned improv comedy with full set, costumes, light and sound

DEFROST 2026: GREMLIN

Gremlin is a live-directed, partially planned improv comedy performance with full set, costumes, light and sound.

The unseen but all powerful in-show direction hovers over the improvisers at all times - nudging details and twisting circumstances in creative and covert ways, making it impossible to know if you’re watching fate or free will. Is it carefully crafted theatre or complete chaos?!

Think the The Rehearsal meets The Truman Show, but live right before your very own eyes! Every previous iteration of the show since 2019 has sold out, so don’t miss out on your tickets!

Produced and Directed by Rebecca Thatcher

Featuring: Laura Buskes, Josh Chodziesner, Millie Holten, Jenni Townsend, Reeni Ruparathna, Madeleine Chetcuti, Ryan Zorzut
