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.
Tickets are Pay What You Can with a minimum of £8.
This month under the Spotlight we have the improvised hip-hop group ‘Straight Outta Cotham’ and improvised Lynchian intrigue from ‘Red Room’.
*Straight Outta Cotham*
This is a story from not too far
about a group of performers on their way to the stars,
they’ll give you some scenes
and bring you the beat
while you sit there grinning,
sitting in your seat.
That’s right and when you feel it,
then get up off your bottom
while we wow you with the best raps
Straight Outta Cotham!
Disclaimer: may not actually be the greatest rap skills straight outta Cotham but there will be high energy games and improvised scenes breaking out into raps so you will have a lot of fun.
*Red Room*
Immerse yourself in a David Lynch inspired show depicting a quaint American community torn apart by tragedy.
Hearts break, hopes are born and passions ignite for these souls touched by loss…
For your viewing pleasure: an absurd and entirely improvised experience that will expose you to both the comedic highs and the tragic lows of these all too human characters.
Content Warning: May contain descriptions of death and other adult themes.
Entry requirements: no age restrictions
