Do Not Adjust Your Stage present The Wunderkammer at Camden People’s Theatre
The Wunderkammer is the unique, award-winning hit improv comedy show from leading London-based group Do Not Adjust Your Stage. Originally programmed for Vault Festival 2022, The Wunderkammer will now return to London with 3 shows at Camden People’s Theatre.
In The Wunderkammer, live TED-style talks from guest experts inspire improvised comedy scenes, sketches and characters. Two new speakers are invited for each show and neither the performers nor audience have seen the talks before, making for a unique and spontaneous evening of comedy.

– Helen O’Hara (3rd March) – Film critic, journalist and editor-at-large for Empire magazine.
– Sam Wong (5th March) – Assistant news editor at New Scientist, writer of science of cooking column, presenter of the Science with Sam video series and creator of cryptic crosswords for the magazine.
