Get ready for a takeover!
Bristol Longform Comedy are taking over the Bristol Improv Theatre to showcase local improv troupes performing fantastically funny longform improv – as well as the uniquely assembled Takeover Team featuring different new and experienced improvisers each time!
Bristol Longform Comedy (BLC) is a community-oriented group who shines a light on American-Style Longform Improv. American Longform is a continuous improvised piece inspired by an audience suggestion, structured like sketch comedy, rather than a play.
Their takeover will show you the wide range of wonderful improv Bristol has to offer. There will be two established groups and the Takeover Team: a community troupe created just for the night.
Come along for an evening jam-packed with entertainment and comedy!
ACT ONE – Last Day on Earth
The first graduate house team of legendary improv night Parent’s Basement take a location from the audience and proceed to take us on a journey through improvised sketch and character comedy.
Featuring performers from: This Is Your Musical, Up The Antics & After Dusk, the improvised twilight zone, Last Day on Earth have travelled all over the country with their chaotic, hilarious comedic style and consistently deliver premium laughter.
ACT TWO – The Takeover Team
The Takeover Team is a mystery assortment of improvisers from the community who have assembled for just one show. That’s right, just one show. Catch them while you can, because if you miss them, you’ll never get to see them again!
ACT THREE – The Groundhogs
The Groundhogs originated as part of Bristol Longform Comedy and are icons of Bristol’s longform improv scene. Watch their cast relive the same scene over and over – and see how the tiniest of changes can lead to a totally different future, exploring the many different ways that a single scene could have gone…but didn’t.
