Awesome Thing #44 – Any Suggestions Doctor

Is it OK to plug your friends’ show on your secret blog that mainly your mum reads? DAMN STRAIGHT IT’S OK.

I wrote earlier in the year about how much I love Doctor Who. This is a love that I share with many of my friends – but a few of them took their passion for the show one step further by creating “Any Suggestions Doctor?” – IMPROVISED DOCTOR WHO FOR THE MASSES. This show is great: it brought a female Doctor to the audiences before Jodie Whittaker had even uttered the word TARDIS, it has been wowing audiences at the Edinburgh Fringe for two years, and the people taking part take genuine joy from working on it.

I’ve seen multiple incarnations of the show, and been lucky enough to watch it grow from a nebulous idea thrown about in a pub on a chilly afternoon to a high production values performance that keeps the audience in stitches.

ASD have just started doing shows in London. If you’re a resident of this grim metropolis and a fan of Doctor Who, a fan of improv, or just a fan of laughing – I recommend looking up their next performance!

Details for their shows can be found on their Facebook page!
