After a highly successful, total sell-out Edinburgh Fringe debut last year, Austentatious: An Improvised Novel returns to the Fringe for another summer of literary mischief.Undoubtedly one of the most talked about shows at the festival, Austentatious is an hour long comedy play spun in the inimitable style of Jane Austen – and based entirely on audience suggestions. A seasoned cast including fast-rising comics Cariad Lloyd and Rachel Parris present an eloquent, irreverent, 100% improvised take on the works of Britain’s best-loved novelist. Performed in period costume with live cello accompaniment, Austentatious is an immersive and hilarious treat for fans of Austen and improvised comedy alike.★★★★★ “one of the most impressive comedy shows on the Fringe” – Steve Bennett, Chortle★★★★ "Supersmart and terrifically funny " – The Scotsman★★★★★ –“witty, silly and gloriously funny” – The Skinny
