The Great Big Make It Up Show, a local performance team bringing a brand-new improvised musical for kids to this year’s Fringe Festival.
We have a short, high-energy, interactive show designed especially for children, where kids’ ideas are turned into live songs, characters, and stories—completely made up on the spot. The show is 45 minutes long, family-friendly, and created with accessibility and joy in mind. Participation is always optional for kids and the show will not involve the adults – just sit back and enjoy.
