Saturday 31st May | 14:00 – 17:00
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, and watch or join in with a Jam. 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.
For the May Lab we have:
- Le Ponde – The house group that you could be in! A whimsical show about the interconnected lives of creatures and denizens of a pond.
- The Spontaneous Gentlemen of Verona – We are a band of travelling Shakespearian actors, who have lost our script! We will therefore have to create a piece in the style of the bard that will offer comedy, tragedy and all manner of Elizabethan improv.
- Storm Compass – Award-winning improvisers Real Positive Poles present a series of interconnected stories set across time, from the stone age to the far future and everything in between. Creators of After Dusk ‘a beautiful demonstration of everything that improvised performance can be’ ★★★★★ – Reviews Hub. ‘Incredibly funny and intensely engaging’ – Brighton Seagull
- Finishing off the afternoon with a Jam! A chance to get involved or sit back and enjoy fellow audience members participate in some fun games!
