Afternoon special: OFF THE CUFF, London

Four women play a series of fast-paced hilarious “Who’s Line is it Anyway” games using audience suggestions. With different performers, games and audiences each night, every one of their acclaimed comedy shows is unique and, exclusive to Greenwich, their night here will feature cinematic themes in and amongst their regular rounds.

OFF THE CUFF has enjoyed a monthly outing at Central Station (popular north London cabaret bar), Vespa Lounge (central London performance space), Rosemary Branch (south London pub) and an extended 3-week run at the Oval House Theatre and now comes to the Greenwich Screening Room for the first of two nights (the girls are back on Sun 12 Feb). The event is compered by Ali Adolph and uses a pool of 16 performers. Each night sees a different line-up performing a selection of twelve games from a list of over fifty. Therefore, every show is unique. For anyone who misses the quick-fire repartee of ‘Who’s line is it anyway’, this is a must!
