Up The Antics
The Antics are back at Bristol Improv Theatre with a special summer fundraiser!
With a selection of incredible improv teams from Bristol, you can sit back with the knowledge you're in safe hands and that all of the proceeds will be going towards the charity continuing their important work supporting the community, putting on incredible shows, courses, workshops and teaching high-quality improv.
------------------------
Bristol-based Up The Antics (BBC Radio 4 Extra) takes us down the rabbit hole of improvised sketch comedy. With a suggested location, the antics will explore the characters and the journeys they took to arrive there, with hilarious results.
Leicester Square Sketch-Off Semi-Finalists
“Brilliantly Witty” - ★★★★★ Inter:Mission
“Up The Antics are guaranteed to deliver a laugh every minute” - ★★★★ EdFringeReview

Caitlin and Luke — known, collectively, as CAKE — are making their glorious return.
After years of running the Bristol Improv Theatre together, they're finally doing the thing they somehow never did before: performing improv together.
Caitlin is a Lecoq-trained improviser who tours with Murder, She Didn't Write and her theatre company Compagnie FRÈRES. Luke is one of the minds behind award-winning sketch comedy group Up The Antics, whose work has appeared on BBC Radio and in their own show, The Antics Joke Show.
So what happens when these two comedy brains collide?
Honestly… we don't know. But we do know it'll be very funny.
------------
The improvised paranormal investigation inspired by YOUR ghost stories. In this comedy-horror, we invite both our believer and sceptic experts to pitch their version of events, recreated on stage with live musical accompaniment.
Fresh from their debut-packed-out run at Bristol Improv Theatre’s Unscripted Players’ Big November Show, I Know What I Saw is the spookiest improv comedy around. Are you Team Sceptic or Team Believer?
------------------------
Pricing:
All proceeds go towards supporting Bristol Improv Theatre (Charity No. 1207613). Higher-priced tickets are entirely optional, and we would like to give you an even bigger thank you if you choose one!
