About Bristol Improv Theatre
The Bristol Improv Theatre is the UK’s first full-time dedicated improv theatre. We create, teach and perform spontaneous theatre that is welcoming, creatively ambitious and unapologetically entertaining. We host renowned improv and comedy acts from all over the UK and overseas, as well as being a hub for talented local troupes.
Our venue, located just off the Triangle, is a home for Bristol’s amazing improv community. Some people join as students, taking our classes to build confidence and unlock creativity; others jump on stage at monthly improv jams, or perform in shows with the community theatre group, the Unscripted Players. Others just turn up and enjoy the shows and stay for a pint in the bar afterwards; our theatre has often been described as the friendliest place in Bristol.
We also offer bespoke improv training to help businesses with teamwork, creativity and confidence.
