Scratch Night is where the best, bravest, and budding improvisers try out their new shows and formats. It’s the ‘lucky dip’ of improv nights: brand new ensembles, duos, and solo acts throw their new material at the wall to see what sticks. An improvised narrative film noir rap opera? Sure. Laugh-fuelled, speed of light musical short form? Why not! Deep, philosophical slow burn scenes between animal friends? If you can dream it, it has a place on stage at Scratch Night.
