The Quiet Achievers is a completely improvised, completely silent show set to music. No script, no set, no props, NO WORDS. Just an hour of no-holds-barred physical comedy. It's clowny, it's sometimes beautiful and it's always sweaty. Each night the soundtrack is chosen randomly from a playlist of over 500 songs. Using only a single audience suggestion, the Quiet Achievers will clown their way through the world of your imagination.
