Austentatious

The award-winning smash-hit comedy!

As heard on BBC Radio 4, and seen selling out every week in the West End since 2022, Austentatious welcomes you to their Regency-inspired world, at the Vaudeville Theatre.

The all-star Austentatious cast improvise a hilarious new Jane Austen novel every night! Inspired entirely by a title from the audience and performed in period costume with live musical accompaniment – it’s a riotous, razor-sharp show where swooning is guaranteed.

The revolving Austentatious cast include numerous, award-winning TV and Radio starring performers, including Rachel Parris (BBC’s The Mash Report, Live at the Apollo), Cariad Lloyd (BBC’s QI, Inside No.9, Griefcast, The Witchfinder), Joseph Morpurgo (Radio 4, Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee), Graham Dickson (BBC’s The Witchfinder, Netflix’s After Life) and more.

Now playing at the Vaudeville Theatre, Austentatious: An Improvised Jane Austen Novel is a live comedy show and a distinctive option for audiences exploring things to do in London’s West End. Each performance is completely improvised, inspired by a title suggested by the audience and performed in period style.

The show is a popular choice for comedy fans, Jane Austen enthusiasts and visitors planning a West End theatre visit. Book Austentatious direct with Nimax Theatres via the Vaudeville Theatre Box Office for official tickets, no booking fees, and options for groups, secondary schools and access customers.
