Play · West End
Austentatious
Austentatious is an improvised comedy in the style of Jane Austen. The cast takes a title suggested by the audience and improvises a new Austen-style novel on the spot, performed in period costume with live musical accompaniment.
The rotating ensemble features performers including Rachel Parris, Cariad Lloyd, Joseph Morpurgo and Graham Dickson. The show has been a West End fixture since 2022 and plays at the Vaudeville Theatre. The running time is about 1 hour 50 minutes including one interval, and the theatre recommends it for ages 14+, noting adult themes, language and content.
Buying advice
How to book
Austentatious is an improvised play that only performs on Mondays, usually two or three times a month, so check the dates first. It sells steadily and seats are cheap, from £21.50 to £44.
Ways to pay less
There is no need to book far ahead; it sells steadily, so you can pick a date and seat without racing. The best value is to book a budget seat directly, from £21.50 to £27.50, as there are no other discounts available. TKTS does not sell tickets for this show. There are no peak or off-peak dates, so all Mondays cost the same. No group, student or family discounts are offered.

Where to sit
The Dress Circle is the Vaudeville's sweet spot for views and comfort, though Row A has a rail. The Stalls have a good rake but tight legroom and an overhang, and the Grand Circle gives a panoramic view after a climb.
The Vaudeville Theatre's own seating guide, level by level, is below.
Thinking of going with a group?
There’s a group rate for this show (see the group deal). Register your interest and we’ll try to organise a trip at that rate once enough people are in.
