| AWKWARDLY QUIET
Emerging from the players’ shared love of calm, simple, organic improv, Awkwardly Quiet is equal parts emotional connection and big dumb fun. The performers revel in playing silence and exploring the potential in every moment, creating a show that varies from conversational to silent space play, and from the dramatic to the absurd. |
| BIG NOW
BIG NOW are London’s premier moment-based improv collective. BIG NOW can see into the present. BIG NOW are the gigantic Lizzy Mace, the vast Arfie Mansfield and the world’s largest Sophie Pumphrey. BIG NOW are big. BIG NOW are now. BIG NOW. |

Two idiots. Three chairs. Some lights. No script. Delightful, improvised, clownesque theatre. We invite you to glimpse into worlds, peculiar and mundane, inhabited by vulnerable weirdos. Lizzy and Andreas met at The Second City, Chicago and are now teaching and performing together internationally.
Sketch! Improv! In-jokes! You’re either in or you’re out. Or you’re part of The Cleek. The most exciting collaboration to come out of Chicago’s Second City Training Center since… well, the last one… Featuring award-winning performers from the UK, US and Australia. The Cleek.

She has since teamed up with her classmates to bring a whole new hour of comedy to the Edinburgh Fringe 2014!
Have you ever felt undervalued? Ignored? Overlooked?Three-time Edinburgh Fringe performer and Argus Angel Award-winner Lizzy Mace presents a series of endearingly awkward oddball underlings – from the fourth bear in the Goldilocks story to the disgruntled children’s TV presenter and her psychopathic sock puppets.
Ever been broken-hearted and needed somewhere to go?Whether you’re in a relationship and need a temporary escape, or you’re lost without love and in need of shelter, Mace and Burton welcome you to Heartbreak Hotel. Join them as they chat to guests from across the Fringe in this cathartic comedy chat-show exploring heartbreak, heartache and those heart-warming moments that make it all worthwhile. Have a hope-filled holiday for the heavy-hearted!
Have you ever watched a romantic comedy and wondered “Could that actually happen in real life?”Join Lizzy Mace and Juliette Burton as they try talking to coma patients (While You Were Sleeping), standing on street corners (Pretty Woman) and going on dates with guys whose paddling pools they used to play in (Bridget Jones’s Diary) – all in an attempt to find The One.
Have you ever had a crush on someone and never dared tell them? What if you contacted the object of your affection years later and finally confessed? What if you contacted everyone you’ve ever had a secret crush on and told them all? Lizzy Mace has decided to do just that, and in her new 50-minute show she invites you to share the highs and lows with her – the toe-curling embarrassment, the surprising responses, and absolutely everything in-between.
