Hosted by Thom Tuck with changing judges and lawyers for defense and prosecution, This Is Your Trial invites audience members to accuse their friends (preferably present) of injustices. Essentially this is very structured improv but tonight it worked very well.
Accusations included someone of being "inexcusably tall" (at 6 foot 6 they very nearly "the height of The Beast"), a man of stepping on his friend's glasses (for a builder the accused did seem like a hipster and his friends were suspiciously middle-class looking), and one person even accused Scotland (yes, the nation of Scotland) of not existing.
In this melting pot of accusations, the lawyers were able to make some very creative and fun arguments, and many of the laughs came from genius puns (I confess, I'm a pun lover, and this show played right up my street).
Overall an excellent night and fun and playful accusations, creative and inventive legal arguments. a great way to end this year's festival.
