Five people (two women and three men) are leaning against a vacant butcher's cabinet. They appear laidback, cool and calm. They are looking into the camera.

Five people (two women and three men). The group is standing in front of a glass door and windows with blinds, part of a building with a marble exterior. The overall atmosphere suggests they are waiting or posing outside an official government office.

In each session of The Migration Office you will see two solo acts (e.g. stand-up, and clowning) followed by improvised comedy that subscribes to the Living Room format.

Throughout these 60-minute performances, you will see the cast critique the otherisation they have experienced as a result of their ethnicities. These shows aim to make audience members with similar experiences feel seen and heard.

The Migration Office is an hour of play, introspection, and intelligent humour, performed by a dynamic, unique and diverse cast.
