The Award-Winning Improvised Comedy Returns to the West End
Book your Austentatious tickets for one of the most celebrated improv shows in British theatre. Every Monday evening at the Vaudeville Theatre, an all-star cast of comedians creates an entirely new Jane Austen novel from scratch, inspired by a title suggested by the audience. Performed in full Regency costume with live musical accompaniment, this razor-sharp show has been delighting audiences for over 14 years.
What Makes Austentatious Special?
No two performances of Austentatious are ever the same. The show begins when an audience member shouts out a title for a lost Jane Austen novel, something like "Mansfield Shark" or "The Longbourne Identity". From that single suggestion, the talented ensemble weaves an intricate story complete with swooning heroines, dashing suitors, and the kind of witty social commentary Austen herself would appreciate. The rotating cast includes some of Britain's finest comic performers, including Rachel Parris, Cariad Lloyd, Joseph Morpurgo, and Graham Dickson, all veterans of Edinburgh Fringe and BBC Radio 4.
A West End Institution
What started at the Edinburgh Free Fringe in 2012 has become a beloved West End fixture. Austentatious has won the Chortle Award for Best Character, Improv or Sketch Act, performed for Queen Camilla at Hampton Court Palace, and broadcast on BBC Radio 4. The show's combination of literary pastiche, quick-fire wit, and genuine theatrical skill has earned it five-star reviews and a devoted following who return again and again to see what new Austen adventure awaits.
