SICK FX - brand new live gameshow for fast, loose and gross practical film fx!
The Underground Plymouth, Plymouth, PL4 6JG
Friday 3rd July 2026
Are you done with too much CGI and AI in your films?
Fancy your fantasy, sci-fi and horror FX a little more real and a little bit gross?
Wanna have a laugh while getting covered in slime, blood and who knows what else for a shiny prize?
Of course you do!
SICK FX is a brand new live, immersive gameshow where two teams of amateur enthusiasts will have eight hours to work with a bucketful of practical fx gear - and their willing performers - to create a five-to-ten minute sketch based on a random prompt provided by a ticket-purchasing audience member. Their aim will be to make the most gasp-and-gag-worthy moments they can with whatever is to hand - quite literally! Not only that, but the sketches will be performed live onstage to our audience, so there’s no telling what might ensue…
As well as meeting the teams and witnessing their performances, audience members will be entertained by to be announced interval performers (poets, comedians, bands, who knows?) will teams changeover, and most importantly, will have the power to vote for their favourite team, who will win a sickening supply of short film goodies!
So come along and decide: did you just see some sick fx, or are the competition a bunch of sick f*x?
This show is DIY right from the start, so we need not only competitors, but performers both for sketches and the intervals, production crew, judges and more - in other words, YOU! Please sign up to be part of making the show below:
