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 Bean Spillers: The Improvised Musical premiered at Brighton Fringe where the show was nominated for the Balkan/Otherplace Award, since then the production has toured to Ventnor Fringe; Camden Fringe; the Lawrence Batley Theatre, Huddersfield; The Rondo Theatre, Bath; Chippenham Fringe; Leicester Comedy Festival; The Old Joint Stock, Birmingham; The North Wall, Oxford; The Gilded Balloon, Edinburgh Fringe; The Birmingham Improv Festival; VAULT Festival, London; The King’s Head, London; The Bristol Improv Theatre & Deer Shed Festival. The show received the Offcomm Award for its monthly residency at The Hen & Chickens and made it into The Crush Bar’s pick of VAULT Festival.
In the past The Bean Spillers have performed at numerous balls & events, if you would like to book us for a private function then get in touch!
