In the Meantime… were back at the Camden Fringe in August with their brand new show. It took place on the 22nd & 23rd at the Etcetera Theatre in Camden Town.

 ”Having had a marvellous time at the Camden Fringe last year, and the year before that, In the Meantime… thought it was only fair to come back for more. Their Untitled Sketch Project unveils all-new characters, all-new sketches and all-new jollity. Join them, won’t you?”

 We performed to two full houses and it was great to hear the laughter,  responses and feedback to our brand new material.

Thank you to all that came along and made this our most successful Camden Fringe yet!

The line-up features four fabulous groups:

Past production: Leicester Square Theatre – January 2010

“The world’s a stressful place. It’s full of stressful people and situations, and you’re losing your mind. That’s OK, it happens. Everything’s fine. Stuff the panic deeper and act normal. Or you could have a nervous breakdown. “In the Meantime…” are on the verge of one, and they’re not going down alone. Lose your head while others around you are keeping theirs, and just enjoy the ride.”       - Publicity blurb

‘In the Meantime…’s NERVOUS BREAKDOWN’ took place at the Leicester Square Theatre* on the 8th, 15th, 22nd and 29th January 2010. It centered around the frustrations of modern life, covering everything from public transport and work to social interactions and parenting using ITM…’s own brand of sketch comedy.

The show was generally well received with two sell out nights over its four Friday run.
