Welcome to The Improv Lab! Join us at The Bristol Improv Theatre for a weekend afternoon to watch various different groups from the local Bristol improv community. For free!
These groups could be showcasing brand new shows, formats, changes to existing shows or just simply be getting in more practice. You’ll also have a chance to provide valuable feedback and help shape the shows’ futures.
The Improv Lab is hosted in the bar of the Bristol Improv Theatre. The bar will be open so come on in and enjoy a drink with an afternoon of free shows and a Jam.
Doors open at 2pm and the first show will go on at 2.20pm. When arriving, please head straight to the bar and grab a seat. Groups may be warming up at the back of the room before the show and during the interval.
- Le Ponde – The house group that you could be in! A whimsical show about the interconnected lives of creatures and denizens of a pond.
- Improv Shuffle – We play random tracks from an audience member’s most played, then we make scenes and stories based on a song! Where could your music take us? Come and find out!
- Whose Rhyme Is It Anyway? A freestyle hip hop improv group. They combine scenes and games with improvised rapping.
- The Big Book of Improvised Interactive Musical Stories by David Puck – viral drag sensation David Puck Drag is your living bedtime storybook. You choose the location, characters, even their decisions (warming up for their evening show also at The BIT, come along!)
If you have a show that you would like to bring to the lab, or if you’d like to get involved as a cast member, director, photographer or host please email [email protected] or fill in this form with details of the show. To be selected, the majority of the show must involve improvisation.
