Songbird and improvised comedy queen Jenny Wynter performs By Request, the “side-splitting cabaret” which is never the same show twice.

“Jenny Wynter performs By Request” is an improvised cabaret comedy show which is driven entirely by suggestion sheets filled out by the audience prior to the show, including entries such as “words of wisdom”, “the last text message you received”, “a place or location”. These suggestions are then woven into a series of stories and songs, monologues and medleys with the underlying theme of the show emerging as they are combined.

It is available also as a kids show which can be performed as a matinee on the same day as the evening show! This child-friendly format – first performed to an incredible response at the Woodford Planting Children’s Festival – has age-appropriate prompts for kids to write their own suggestions and have an opportunity to be a star of the show!

Considerations

Performances can be tailored for any rating - it has been presented in "all ages", "child-friendly", and "Over 18s" versions. It is also available in an "Up late - gloves off, adults only" version.

The show requires the ability for audience members to fill out suggestion cards and return them, before the show, as this forms the core of the improvised cabaret.

This show is more than just a good laugh: we want people to come to the show with their friends and family, to improve their bonds and understanding of each other through shared catharsis.

Our hope is that by sharing laughter together they'll be inspired and encouraged to share more with each other and remind each other how to turn even their worst moments of failure, struggle, and exhaustion into humour. It really is an epidural for life.

Our touring parties aim to engage with the local communities prior to the shows (within the boundaries of Covid-19 safety practices).

To achieve this end, we offer the following organised community engagement activities alongside the show:

  • Babes in Arms Matinees;
  • Women’s Story-sharing sessions;
  • Writing with humour workshops;
  • Improvisational workshops;
