A musical that flies by the seat of our pants

Your wish is our command
Not a word nor note is planned
A brand new musical appearing sans recital
And all we need from you is … the title!

Off the back of three sold out shows in Smock Alley’s main space, our entirely improvised musical is back, and better than ever. You don’t want to miss this chance to have your musical suggestion crafted in real time into a fully-realised, ridiculous, comical, and maybe even heartfelt production.

About The Company
Bum Notes is Ireland’s first improvised musical team.*
Our cast’s backgrounds are in Ireland’s improv comedy scene, and after a few musical improv workshops we knew we were hooked! We fully teamed up after finding the music marvel that is Paul Prior and applying to the Scene + Heard festival. We started performing in January 2024, and since then every show we’ve been a part of has been a sell out.

*Or at least the first one to have properly gone to stage with it…we think.
