Every night, on stage, a surprise guest sits down with the cast. They’ve never met before. By the end of the show, their life has been turned into theatre.  

Improv show, chat show, real stories spun live into sketches, songs and scenes. Funny, moving and totally alive, Lifegame is about the small things that make us who we are and the seismic moments that change everything. 

Since 1998, Lifegame has played to thousands across the globe. Lifegame is reimagined for today in a new partnership between award winning companies Improbable (My Neighbour Totoro) and Good Chance (The Jungle). These early scratch performances are your chance to see the work as it evolves—and to help shape the production that will tour in 2027 and beyond.
