Good evening and welcome to The Nearly News Show, live from Battersea Arts Centre. Tonight’s Headline News: It’s The Stories You Want To Hear.

Join some of the UK’s top improv comedians as they present comprehensive coverage and hilarious in-depth analysis of the real stories behind today’s headlines, as selected by the studio audience. Brought to you by leading London improv theatre The Free Association.

We’re giving you hard-hitting investigative journalism. Or maybe the exact opposite. Either way, tonight’s news is live, improvised and way less bleak than the real thing.
