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 The Grumpkins and Up The Antics.

*The Grumpkins*

Bristol-based improvisers Emma T and Pete Leaman make up the semi-mythical and all-magical duo The Grumpkins. They will weave a brand new hilarious show from nothing but their imaginations and sheer determination.

This (very) potentially ground-breaking masterpiece of a show may feature anything from adventure, romance, aliens, angels, demons, knights, drama, mystery, intrigue and a well-crafted gritty limited streaming series about a mismatched pair of detectives. It could also feature two construction workers talking about their favorite types of pie.

What will they do? We don’t know.
Where did they come from? Cotton-eye Joe.

*Up The Antics*

Bristol-based Up The Antics (BBC Radio 4 Extra) take us down the rabbit hole of improvised sketch comedy. With the suggestion of a location, the antics will explore the characters and journeys taken to arrive there, with hilarious results.
