Having forged a near-psychic bond over many years of performing together, the four Racing Minds – Douglas Walker, Chris Turner, Daniel Nils Roberts and Tom Skelton – take a uniquely anarchic approach to improvisation, which celebrates the special connection forged in the moment between performers and audience. Packed with gags, facts and on-stage bickering, and frequently demolishing the fourth wall, Racing Minds’ comedy is performed with gleeful abandon, and at breakneck pace. Don’t let the controlled chaos fool you, however: the show is also famed for its brilliantly clever and ambitious storylines, as audience suggestions come together at the climax in delightfully unexpected ways to bring the house down every time.
With their two flagship shows, the madcap adventure Aaaand Now For Something Completely Improvised, and 1950s radio play pastiche Aaaand Now For Something Completely Wireless, they have sold out multiple runs at the Edinburgh Fringe, and toured through Europe and Australia.
