      Want to experience Dungeons & Dragons without doing all that math? Is watching a wizard fight a shapeshifting dragon on your Must-See list? Then Can I Get an Underground Location and a Mythical Creature? is for you! Experience an improvised fantasy adventure entirely made up on the spot and entirely controlled by the dice.
       
      This smash-hit show is coming to Basement for the very first time, after selling out 5 previous seasons including the NZ International Comedy Festival and the New Zealand Improv Festival.
       
      This isn’t a show where you watch people play D&D – this is a show where you watch characters themselves in a D&D story. Follow along for a tale filled with adventure and surprise, with the heroes' fates in the hands of the dice and the audience. Whether you’ve played D&D since you were five, only know it from watching Stranger Things or just enjoy improv and laughter – come along!
       

      Can I Get an Underground Location and a Mythical Creature? is suitable for adventurers of all ages 8 and over. The evening performances are at 8pm. For families with children, we recommend coming along to our Saturday matinee performance.

      Content Warnings This show is fully improvised. The host/dungeon master will be interacting with the audience by asking people to roll a large dice. If you don’t want to be interacted with we will have "opt out of audience interactions" lanyards available in the foyer. If you are wearing one of the lanyards you won't be asked to roll the dice. You are also welcome to say 'no thank you' to a request to roll the dice at any time.

      “This is a show both avid players and those who know nothing about Dungeons and Dragons will love.” - Theatreview “Highly entertaining, with the troupe eliciting raucous laughter and genuine investment in this short-lived story.” – Theatrescenes “What unfolds is a series of side-splitting hijinks…that is both highly comedic and heartwarming.” - Theatreview
