Show full description Hide full description

Story Salad is a fun and wacky improv storytelling show. Join Matt from playschool and one of his super storyteller friends as they are given three words to make up a story about it, ON THE SPOT! What do a teddy, the colour orange and a castle have in common? No idea! How about a toilet, guitar and a cat? No clue, but we’ll find out very soon because Matt and his friend only have three minutes to whip them up into a Story Salad.
