The Improv Spotlight
Saturday 13 April, 2024 @ 19:00 - 21:30
PWYC from £5
A night showcasing the very best of local talent in the Bristol improv community.
Join us for a night of spontaneous laughter at The Improv Spotlight. Immerse yourself in the world of unscripted comedy as two talented groups from our vibrant community take centre stage. These groups will weave unique stories, characters, and humour on the spot for your entertainment. The Spotlight highlights the spontaneous comedy of improvised theatre and proudly showcases the diverse skills of local troupes and artists within our community.
Doors at 7pm. Show starts at 7.30pm.
This month under the Spotlight we have Clones and Beansville.
*Clones*
Take a glimpse into a futuristic society where everybody is designated a number of Clones and still expected to navigate the pitfalls and hazards of the modern workplace. Presented by the Founder and CEO of the U Foundation, our showcase will demonstrate the myriad of benefits and uses of the New U technology to you, our investors.
Inspired by Bladerunner and the TTRPG Paranoia, Clones is an improvised Sci-Fi show unlike any other, except itself, of course.
*Beansville presents: Video Store*
Welcome to the video store! Pick your favourite genre, make up the movie title you’d like to see, and we’ll improvise the rest. Of course, if the video wasn’t properly rewound last time, we might accidentally start with the final scene… don’t worry, we’ll figure it out.
Bristol-based improvisers Beansville invite you to watch a wholly improvised movie from the racks of the video store, based on your suggestions.
No late fees. No script.
