The Bristol Improv Theatre has been named a finalist in the Arts & Creative category of The Bristol Life Awards! This recognition means the world to us, and we are so grateful to everyone who has supported us on our journey.
This nomination comes at a pivotal time for us
In 2024, we faced the real possibility of closure due to rising costs and a tough economic climate. But thanks to our incredible community, we launched a crowdfunding campaign that exceeded expectations, raising £25,000 to keep the theatre going. Your support didn’t just help us survive – it spurred us on to make changes. We built on the success of our Theatre School, running more courses than ever before, and introducing drop-in classes for the Global Majority and LGBTQ+ communities. 2024 was also the year we became a registered charity, solidifying our mission to advance the art of improvisation for the public benefit.
Our nomination as a finalist is a testament to what we’ve built together – a hub for creativity, joy, and play, where people from all walks of life can connect through improvisation. From our growing pool of students and performers to our groundbreaking community projects, we remain committed to making improv more accessible and inclusive.
But as a small, grassroots arts charity, we still need your support
The arts are under increasing pressure, and organisations like ours rely on your support through ticket sales, donations, and word-of-mouth to keep going. If you’ve ever laughed at one of our shows, found confidence in a class, or simply believe in the power of improv, now is the perfect time to get involved. Come see a show, take a class, donate, or even just spread the word about us – every little bit helps us continue to create a space for joy and connection in Bristol.
This nomination is for all of us – our performers, our students, our audience, and our supporters. Let’s keep the momentum going and make 2025 an even bigger year for improv.
