Following its sell-out Soho Theatre run, the cult hit comes to Edinburgh. Together with his audience, veteran improviser Elms 'builds a comedy mind palace before your very eyes. You'll want to move in for good' (Phil Wang). 'Funny, original, different every time... You go there and bathe in it and try not to be jealous you didn't think of it' (Tim Key). 'You'd have to be dead not to enjoy it' (Katy Wix). 'Staking out his own comedy territory' (Guardian). As seen in Nick Mohammed's Swallow shows.

Reviews
David Elms brings a lot of imagination to bear on his first Edinburgh Fringe show in nine years – but uses absolutely none of it on the title.
