Argus! The Musical? Working for the newspaper made this a show I had to see, and I wasn’t disappointed.

Before the show audience members flicked through the pages of Sussex’s best oracular to find articles for the award-winning improvisation group The Maydays, which they then created scenes around.

The quality of each skit varied, but that is the nature of improv, sometimes a hit and sometimes a miss.

If the players felt it wasn’t working their colleagues quickly came to their rescue by ending a scene and beginning a new one.

Improvised comedy with songs is probably the hardest type of humour to pull off well, and the concept seemed to work better when The Maydays stuck with their source material.

Several sketches, while still funny, bore no relation to the article they were supposed to be lampooning.

Overall a great night with plenty of laughs.
