David Elms Describes A Room | LIF 2026

Friday 8th May

7PM

It’s a playful collective experience!

Following sell-out runs at Soho Theatre and the Edinburgh Fringe, the cult hit comes to Liverpool for the first time.

David Elms Describes A Room is a one-hour-long improvised show. In the show, veteran improviser David leads the audience through the game of building a room together as a collective. The objects in the room, the stories behind the objects, the person behind the stories. It’s different every time!

The show has run monthly at The Free Association theatre since May 2022 and travels to venues around the UK and beyond.

“You’d have to be dead not to enjoy it” – Katy Wix

“David builds a comedy mind palace before your very eyes. And you’ll want to move in for good!” – Phil Wang

“Imaginative, soothing and gently immersive storytelling – the ASMR of improv” – Rose Matafeo
