Stuck in the Middle is theatre at its most hair-raising. Watch as a single actor stands their ground, centre stage for the entire show - while their fellow actors create a whirlwind of characters, genres and situations to put them through their paces. 

Non-stop theatrical action is the name of the game.

This is a theatre performance that explores what it’s like for ordinary Australians to be asked to leave what they know. Taking improvised theatre into new terrain, actors explore the characters’ emotional and physical journeys; through heartbreak and hope, through simple and serious instances of displacement. 

A vivid and genuine experience for both performer and audience that shows the happiness, joy and relief of new beginnings.

A cross between Grey’s Anatomy and Supernatural  - with a dose of 1950s schlock horror and lashings of fake blood -  Prognosis: Death! follows the lives and loves of the staff at St Love Hospital. 

But as they battle their feelings, they are also threatened by a supernatural enemy - as suggested by the audience!

There's a killer on the loose at the Off The Cuff Festival, but never fear – the British Empire's most ingenious and inebriated detective, Agatha Holmes, is on the case!

Drawing on nothing but his wits and a large supply of “thinking powder”, Holmes must tackle one of the most cunning and perplexing mysteries of his career. But how did the victim die? What clue points to the solution? And most importantly... whodunnit? A secret audience ballot will decide all three, leaving you free to have fun trying to guess the murderer's identity. 

Will you be able to work it out before Agatha Holmes does?

“In a New York Minute, everything can change... ” -Don Henley.

After a sold-out season in Perth, Spontaneous Insanity’s In A New York Minute is coming to the Off the Cuff Festival.

Inspired by your suggestions, spontaneous characters are crafted and the strands of their lives are intricately woven together to create a web of hilarity, tragedy and heart. Intriguing, hilarious and tragic; the journey starts with you, but everything can change... In a New York Minute.
