NCF 2026 | Unspeakable Acts | Friday 6th November 2026 Unspeakable Acts
The improv show that starts with a real Hollywood screenplay before diverging wildly into a whole new story. The audience selects the movie you most want to see mutilated and abandoned, and the team – who may never have even heard of it – will spin the tale. Absurd, unfaithful, funny and endlessly inventive, these are the stories we’ll never see on screen.

Introducing our eighth show during Nottingham Comedy Festival 2026: It’s a Trap!

Hilarious unscripted tales from a long time ago in a galaxy far far away. You can expect a celebrated blend of Jedi, jokes and Jawas. Over the course of an hour, see agents on both the Dark and Light side of the force struggle to make their way through an ever expanding galaxy; on a collision course that can only end in a trap of galactic proportions.

Best Improv Show finalist at Leicester Comedy Festival 2022.

NCF 2026 | Tales From The Darkive | Friday 6th November 2026 Tales From The Darkive
In this "improv comedy show", the audience is granted exclusive access to the many strange case files buried in the Institute's Dark Archive. A clock that ticks like death. A lost dimension in a car park lift. A dog that MIGHT have a gun. When confronted with the true horrors of the universe the human psyche has but one response, uncontrollable laughter!
