Description

To mark the end of a big year for improvised comedy in Sydney, the Jetpack Spontaneous Theatre Festival brings you a week of improvised theatre. Each night features the acclaimed On The Spot Musical plus a special guest show, two shows for the price of one!

“One thing Jetpack and its’ members really excel at is taking familiar mediums, novel concepts, and delivering truly entertaining experiences. They make a promise to the audience, and then they deliver on it completely.” - Lauren Pearce, Honi Soit

On The Spot Musical
Using just a keyboard and some words from the audience, Bryce Halliday, Jim Fishwick and their cast of champion improvisers create the next great Australian musical on the spot. After its knock-out season at the Hayes Theatre last year, On The Spot Musical is returning to send off 2015 with a bang.

“There’s hardly any point recounting the plot because what you’ll see next time is not what we saw this time; let’s just say it was buckets of fun, genuinely earning an adjective like “zany”. There isn’t a lot around Sydney like this.” - Cassie Tongue for AussieTheatre.com

Bryce Halliday is an award-winning cabaret artist and comedian. Jim Fishwick is an award-winning director, performer, and Theatresports champion. Together they are the directors of your musical, what it is about is entirely up to you. All we know is that they will try to squeeze as many Broadway tropes as possible into an hour, as they weave melody lines, plot lines and punchlines.

With an incredible cast featuring Sydney's fastest and funniest improv performers, along with special guest stars from Australian musical theatre, anything could happen!
