Warm your toes by the comedy fire at Improv Conspiracy's mid-winter festival Defrost, showcasing over 50 unique events dedicated to improv and sketch comedy.

Each night of the festival features a multitude of one-off themed improv and sketch shows. With plenty of shows to sit back and enjoy, plus opportunities to get involved and try out your skills on the stage, there's something for everyone. Come for one show, or stay for a full evening of toasty, warm comedy.

The fun doesn’t stop when the shows are over – Friday and Saturday nights will feature fun, late-night social events, with lip sync battles, karaoke and more.
