Artistic Director Alison Pollard-Mansergh, Producer Jared Harford, and the whole team at Interactive Theatre International are excited to announce a new residency for Faulty Towers the Dining Experience in Edinburgh this autumn.
Faulty Towers: The Dining Experience debuted in 1997 and first came to the Fringe in 2008. In 2019 the experience welcomed their one millionth diner in Edinburgh and was hailed by the Edinburgh Evening News as “one of the most successful ever at the Edinburgh Fringe”. Now Scottish audiences will be able to enjoy Basil’s antics once again his autumn, with an Edinburgh residency confirmed for 28 September – 8 October at the Apex Grassmarket Hotel 31-35 Grassmarket, Edinburgh EH1 2HS.
The cast will be Jack Baldwin as ‘Basil’, Edward Howells as ‘Manuel’ and Suzanna Hughes as ‘Sybil’. Jack and Suzanna first performed in Faulty Towers The Dining Experience at the Fringe, in 2015.
Faulty Towers The Dining Experience is a highly interactive experience, where audiences enjoy a 3-course meal and 5-star comedy.
When the audience become diners in the ‘Faulty Towers’ restaurant, pretty much anything can happen – because 70% of the show is improvised. The fun starts as guests wait to be seated. It then hurtles along in a 2-hour tour de force of gags and shambolic service as Basil, Sybil and Manuel serve a ‘70s-style 3-course meal together with a good dollop of mayhem.
