Table 5 Presents: When I Grow Up
Were your childhood dreams filled with ideas of growing up to be an astronaut, ballerina or dinosaur...? Table 5 are here to show you what your life could be like had your childhood dreams come true… sort of.
Swipe Right
Your hosts! We perform our show Something Just Happened, or possibly something else - either way, it's likely to feature the relationships you want to see, and the relationships you may rather you hadn't.
The Bean Spillers
We’ve all heard some juicy gossip, but have you ever wondered if there’s more to the story? The Bean Spillers (Sam Cochrane & Alex Prescot) are venturing out on a noble quest to find the silliest story each audience has to offer and turn it into a completely improvised musical extravaganza! The pair regularly perform with members of critically-acclaimed improv troupes such as Showstopper, Mischief Theatre, Baby Wants Candy, Notflix & Austentatious.
The Jam!
Genuinely once described by someone as 'the best improv jam in the south of England' (we were so pleased by that that we repeat it a lot) our jam is typically made up of two or three person scenes. For your inspiration in these, you can either take an emotion from our patented 'emotometer' or receive whimsical words from a sweet treat.
It's a supportive, warm space for performers and audience members alike to jam and, usually, everyone who puts their name in gets a turn. Any questions, come find one of us (Andy, Carly, Robin and Rosie) on the night and just ask - if you want to be on stage, we'd love to have you there!

Frequently asked questions
We've been running it since 2023 and it's all very friendly, and mostly two-person scenes, open to both audience and performers. We usually get a nice mix of both. Should you want to take part, you'll be given a choice of inspirations - or can decide on your own. It's improv, after all.
