Who are Harold in a Wig?
Harold in a Wig is an improv show that takes the Harold, the classic long-form structure, and adds one rule: everybody wears a wig. At the top of the night each performer pulls a wig at random, and that wig decides who they play. They may change character whenever they like, but only by changing wigs, and nobody is ever allowed on stage bare-headed. The cast was Lily Hensby, Jonah Maranan, Steph Merriman, Tasman McClymont-Griffiths, Rachel Slee and Kate Ingram. At the 2026 ITS Comedy Festival it shared a double bill in Improv Theatre Sydney's Mini Theatre with Idiot Box, an improvised trip through old television. [1]
