How We Work
- Our performers dress in appropriate costume for the plot or theme – you can encourage your guests to do the same if you wish!
- We do not work to a script. The characters have their backstories, motives and arguments worked out beforehand but the action during the event is mainly improvised – allowing full interaction!
- Throughout the evening, our performers will move from table to table, interacting with guests, dropping clues and arguing with other characters
- Solution forms are filled in by the guests, with prizes for the most accurate and most amusing solutions!
The Die Laughing Team were wonderful! The actors kept everyone engaged throughout the night – even while we were having dinner. Their performances were fantastic – really taking us back to the 1920s! We would definitely call them again for any future events!
The team of actors from Die Laughing and Milton Keynes Theatre of Comedy were absolutely brilliant! Their planning and communications prior to our weekend-long event made sure that everything ran smoothly. But their TALENT…wow…all of our guests (50+) were blown away and left giggling all weekend. The team performed an interactive murder mystery night for us on the Friday which played out during the evening over welcome drinks and a three-course meal. It was the best way to both entertain and get all ours guests involved and chatting. The following day, we asked the team to return as characters from Alice In Wonderland to complement our themed party. Again, they smashed it with very convincing performances from a Queen of Hearts and a Dormouse (who didn’t break character all day long!) as well as theatrical poetry recital. Nothing was too much to ask of the team and their priority was the enjoyment and entertainment of our guests. I cannot thank them enough and would recommend them to all!
