Oh Boy! The Quantum Leap Show
An improvised episode by The Maydays
“…effortlessly funny from beginning to end.”
**** Broadway Baby
“The talented cast are able to pepper the unfolding story with a worryingly geeky level of period knowledge
of landmark people, brands and events.”
**** - Kenneth Scott for EdinburghGuide.com
Theorising that new episodes are possible within their lifetime, the Maydays step into the Quantum
Leap accelerator... and vanish. Paying homage to the classic sci-fi series and based entirely on
audience suggestions, the Maydays jump through time to put right what once went wrong, in a
brand new episode every day.
From a bar room brawl to a crashing plane, the Maydays are ready to avert any disaster or save any
relationship. Based on suggestions from the audience, the Maydays leap from life to life throughout
the Fringe. Expect laughs, tragedy, physical comedy and a warm fuzzy feeling.
“Sometimes inspired, always great, occasionally laceratingly funny, and at times deeply affecting.” *****

“Overall, there’s a 100% chance that it’s considerably better than the TV show was…” ****
TheatreReviews.co.uk – 2014
“enough laughs, silliness and surrealness to appeal to everyone. Hugely fun, a good laugh and satisfyingly
geeky, this was both an original concept and a respectful homage.”
***** Laura Fernandez-Kayne for Latest 7, Brighton 2014
The Maydays won Best Comedy Show at Brighton Festival, the Birmingham Improv Smackdown, the
Bristol Improv Throwdown and the Comedy School’s Improv Shield and in the last year headlined
