Before Penny Ashton’s Sense & Sensibility and Promise & Promiscuity there was Austen Found. Born in Wellington’s NZ Improv Festival in 2008, this best-selling completely improvised Austenian musical started it all. And in 2026 she is beyond excited to be bringing her original partner in bonnets; founder of the Improvisers, star of LOTR and M3GAN; Lori Dungey along for the carriage ride. As well as Mr Twinkle Fingers Jamie Burgess, who will be providing the improvised soundtrack to all the Regency shenanigans. And all on Jane Austen’s 251st Birthday. Hoorah!

Addicted to Darcy?  Easily Persuaded? Bonkers for Big Balls?  Aren’t we all! Join Ashton (Olive Copperbottom, The Tempestuous), Dungey (The Dinner) and Burgess, as they swoon, romp, and pianoforte their way through Austen’s world. Charming suitors, meddlesome mothers and surprisingly well-educated girls will all paint a vivid picture in song, dance and passionate handholding.  

Complete sell out Wellington Improv Fest, Adelaide Fringe and NZ International Comedy Fest.
