Monsieur Montpellier: Entertainer Extraordinaire is the newest creation of comedy writers and performers Nick Hall (Monsieur Montpellier) and Jack Hartnell (Le Cabaret). Nick and Jack have been performing improvised comedy for over six years and are currently part of the improvised comedy group Dead Man in a Box (“Undeniably sharp, well-oiled and impressive” Such Small Portions, 2008).

Nick and Jack’s aim for Monsieur Montpellier has been to get beyond the typical ‘Who’s Line Is It’ improvised style that dominates most shows and instead take improvised comedy into new territory. Taking on audience suggestions, the two spontaneously act out a feature-length story, with both playing all the characters and no telling where it may lead! The whole show is created and controlled by the two – even down to the lighting and sound. The performance is high-energy and, although primarily comedic, includes elements of physical theatre, mime and Derren Brown-style feats, with live prop-making and music played by the two.  Through these different elements they transport the audience into a completely new world.

Other theatrical credits include performances at the Cambridge Footlights, Latitude Festival, Bloomsbury Theatre and the BBC, as well as the Edinburgh Fringe from 2005-2008. They also currently write and perform as part of the sketch group The Three Englishmen, as well as pursuing separate comedy and performance interests.
