The Maydays return to the Fringe with their 5-star improvised show – Happily Never After – a ‘darkly comedic’ twisted musical tale inspired by gothic themes, fairytales, and the warped imaginations that brought us Lemony Snicket, Beetlejuice, Shockheaded Peter and Grimm’s Tales.

Plucked from the seed of your suggestion, The Maydays will take you on a unique journey – weaving a gothic tale that’s completely different every time. There’s no telling what strange characters, innocent beasts or talking objects you might meet along the way!

The Maydays have been wow-ing audiences across the UK and Europe, with packed houses and standing ovations, for their spontaneous show that Reviews Hub called ‘touching, incredibly funny’, and ‘rich in narrative twists and charm’.

With a bespoke, improvised soundtrack for every show, this will be a truly creepy, mischievous and fantastical experience.

Brighton Fringe 2025 dates: 22nd, 23rd & 24th May 2025, 19:30, Doors 19:00, Wagner Hall – Book Here.
