Get experimental with The Improv Lab! A friendly afternoon of scratch performances featuring a variety of new and developing ideas from Bristol’s improv scene.
Programmed by volunteers, The Improv Lab aims to foster a sense of community and peer support for the development of improvised performance work in Bristol.
What to expect:
Each Lab features groups that are showcasing new shows, different formats, changes to existing shows, or just simply getting more practice in front of an audience. Audience members and other acts are encouraged to provide valuable feedback and help shape the shows’ futures.
The Improv Lab is hosted in the bar space of the Bristol Improv Theatre. The bar will be open so come on in and enjoy a hot or cold drink with an eclectic afternoon of shows for a fiver (or pay what you decide) AND an improv jam where you can join in.
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.
Check out @Bristol.Improv.Lab on Instagram for the latest lineup information.
If you have a show 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 bristolimprovlab@gmail.com or fill out this form with details of the show. To be selected, the majority of the show must involve improvisation.
Tickets are ‘Pay What You Decide’ with a standard £5 ticket. All funds go straight back into supporting Bristol Improv Theatre, providing more community events like this one!
