The all-star Austentatious cast (starring Cariad Lloyd) improvise a hilarious new Jane Austen novel every night.
Inspired entirely by a random title from the audience and performed in period costume with live musical accompaniment – it’s a riotous, razor-sharp show where swooning is guaranteed.
With whip-smart wit, and a cavalcade of cads, dashing gents and fierce heroines, this is a legendary comedy experience for Austen-fans and newcomers alike.
Austentatious has continued to grow and grow, performing everywhere from The RSC in Stratford, to Hampton Court Palace with a story title in a golden envelope written by Queen Camilla herself. They had the first improvised show on BBC Radio 4 for a decade, and the talented cast have gone on to establish themselves as some of the stars of stage and screen in UK comedy.
Swiftly becoming a West End institution, Austentatious is a totally unique evening of fun, frocks and laughs so hearty they’ll burst your breeches!
Austentatious will be performing in the West End on Mondays at the Vaudeville Theatre throughout 2026 (dates and tickets available here)
