The Improv Spotlight

The Improv Spotlight proudly showcases the diverse skills of local troupes and artists within the Bristol improv community. Every show features unique acts from the vibrant world of unscripted comedy, with a focus on up-and-coming acts, providing a stage for fresh and unique shows.

This month, under the Spotlight, we have some high-energy freestyle raps with improv hip-hop group 'Straight Outta Cotham' and go on a journey through memory with global majority troupe 'That's Mad'.

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: This show consists of high-energy freestyle raps, games and improvised scenes that'll have you shouting for more!

That's Mad

That's Mad present an improvised show based on our memories. You, as the audience, will get a chance to choose which memory we rewrite, using a mixture of theatre, movement, and music to help us along the way.

Get ready for some interesting scenarios, some global majority joy and some wholesomeness!
