The Discount Comedy Checkout Improvised Family Show

Nominated for ‘BEST KIDS SHOW’ at the 2022 Leicester Comedy Festival and winner of the ‘BEST NATIONAL SHOW‘ Award at Morecambe Fringe 2020.

The Discount Comedy Checkout is a fun 60 minute comedy show for the entire family. It focusses on bringing to life many of the children’s ideas and stories with the help of three talented comedy improvisers – Chris Lumb (Russell Howard’s Good News), Natalie Smeaton (Britain’s Got Talent) and Phil Allan-Smith (BBC1: This is MY House).

A big hit with festivals and schools up and down the country, all the stories and ideas the kids (and adults) come up with will be created in front of your very eyes. The children are the real stars of the show. There’s even a chance for them to take to the stage and join in the storytelling fun – all they need is their imagination and allow Chris, Natalie, and Phil do the rest!
