David Elms Describes a Room

21st February
Firebug, 1 Millstone Lane, Leicester, LE1 5JN

"A lesson in the transcendent power of collective imagining" The Guardian

Following another totally sold-out run at the Edinburgh Fringe and a residency at London’s Soho Theatre, the acclaimed improv comedy phenomenon heads out on its second UK tour. Together with his audience, veteran improviser Elms “builds a comedy mind palace before your very eyes. And you’ll want to move in for good!” (Phil Wang).

“David’s very clever. He’s made a show that’s funny, original and different every time. You go there and bathe in it and try not to be jealous you didn’t think of it. Superb.” - Tim Key

“David has created one of the most original and intimately spectacular shows around. As impressive as it is heartwarming, it often feels like you’re watching one effortlessly delivered magic trick - stunning” - Nick Mohammed

"A strikingly impressive feat of memory, world-building and forging of communal purpose" The List

"A real triumph of the human imagination" The Skinny

"This is surely one of the most original and artistic comedy shows" Chortle

Presented by Celia Dugua & Berk's Nest in association with PBJ Management
