Office Party, Pleasance Theatre, Islington Nov. 21, 2011, 12:32 p.m.

As the party seasons creeps closer, it is time to get into the spirit of things with a London escort. Out comes the sparkly numbers, decorations, party games and copious amounts of alcohol. It goes without saying, work parties can go one way or another. Either they are as dull as watching a full length feature film on the plight of the hump-back whale or it’s a bloody awesome night that you inevitably live to regret. The latter often means you’ve got hammered, snogged the boss and ended up passed out in the toilets. The Office Party, playing at the Pleasance Theatre in Islington has been heavily reviewed by theatre critics and dubbed four stars - “a perfect office outing” (Time Out). Previously playing to packed venues at the Barbican Theatre and the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, the party show is expected to do even better this time round. Deemed a participatory theatrical experience, this is a fun show to take a London escort to. Want to experience a whole new office party experience? Then, get ready to experience the unexpected. Not for the shy and retiring, this is not the sort of show where you can sit back and relax. You’ll have to muster in and get involved; get ready to be called upon to play roles in this participatory show. You’ll be recruited as an employee and take part in the fun and games of this fictitious company’s annual party. As soon as you step through the door, you’ll spy a room filled with balloons and decorations, a scene fit for an office party. Claim a name badge off the table and you’ve already entered into proceedings.

Expect a mixture of comedy and cabaret, immersing yourself in the fun and fabricated world of Product Solutions Head Office party. Your Head of Department will take you both on a surreal night of experiences at this captivating live theatre experience. Whilst most of the shenanigans remain a secret and unspoilt, just know this, expect an office party full of scandal. This immersive theatre spectacular has little in the way of plot but promises bad dancing, interactive situations, drinking and a full on participatory Christmas party. Don’t be putt off with participating though. You and your Islington escort date won’t be singled out and picked on, unless of course you want to be. Just expect to join in on the party games, silliness, drinking and office politics.

Fronted by legendary cabaret artists Ursula Martinez (La Clique, La Soiree) and Christopher Green (Tina C, Ida Barr), expect to be transformed into a open live theatre show, that’s a party! At times the lines are blurred between audience and performers, as those that get into the spirit of things become just as realistic as the actors. This comedy-cabaret duo who combined their talents in the Olivier-Award winning C’est Duckie! are taking to the stage to bring you this interactive theatre extravaganza. The show that comprises of 7 rooms, 14 actors - providing one hell of a night, is packed with a genuine assortment of stand-up comedians, avant-garde performers, all resulting in an offbeat theatre spectacular.

There will be room for possible embarrassment, downright doltish behaviour and tom-foolery like you’ve never experienced before. Step right up and leave you’re conscious at the door as the name of the game is to get involved. This wonderfully experimental experience offers a party that you will never forget! But, remember, what happens at the office party, stays at the office party!
