SUMMARY:Sci-fi Double Feature: Spon Trek: The Next Improvisation and Waiting for Robo(T)
DESCRIPTION:Friday 26th January | 20:00\n  \nIt’s a Science Fiction Double Feature. Two improv shows\, one Sci-Fi theme. Join us for two brand new stories inspired by your favourite shows and science fiction concepts. \n  \nSpon Trek: The Next Improvisation \nSpace: the final frontier. These are the unscripted voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its continuing mission: to explore strange new worlds. To seek out new jokes and new civilizations. To boldly go where no one has gone before! \nAs if there wasn’t quite enough Star Trek right now\, join us for a “wonderfully geeky\,” (Edfringe Review) brand new episode of the cult sci-fi classic. Inspired by your audience suggestions\, this comedic parody is suitable for all levels of nerdiness and Star Trek knowledge\, including none! \n  \nReal Positive Poles are a Bristol based sci-fi improv troupe. Their previous shows have included The Y Files an improvised X Files and After Dusk an improvised Twilight Zone which won best improv show at the Brighton Fringe 2022 and was top 3 shortlisted for best show in all categories. \n“A beautiful demonstration of everything that improvised performance can be” ★★★★★ – The Reviews Hub \n“Quirky\, offbeat and hilarious” – Swindon Fringe Review \n“Absolutely perfect improv” – Starburst Magazine \nWaiting for Robo(t) \nIn the fast-paced modern world of automation and AI assistants\, it’s an increasingly common worry that a robot might one day replace you and make you obsolete. \nBut what if it’s already happening? What if your colleagues\, friends\, family – even yourself – have already been replaced by synthetic imitators? \nWell\, worry no more! GC Industries is proud to present this live demonstration of their groundbreaking Voight-Kampff test. Sit back and watch as our trained interrogator puts an unsuspecting suspect under the spotlight and finds out whether they’re as human as they claim to be. \nFrom the joyful idiots that brought you Steves and Wooster and Holy Unauthorised Improv Parody\, Batman! comes a new show inspired by that one bit from the beginning of Blade Runner. \n  \n\n\n

(Spoiler: It will not) \nLast Day On Earth\nThe 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. \nFeaturing 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.

This show hasn’t been written yet. A nightmare or a dream? Who’s to say? Up ahead there’s a sign. We take a turning through your imagination and arrive at your final destination: An improvised twist on The Twilight Zone! \nAccompanied by a live violinist\, some of Bristol’s best improvisers create a brand-new episode of the classic science fiction show which inspired Black Mirror.

SUMMARY:Dubious History Double Bill
DESCRIPTION:Friday 31st May | 20:00 (Doors 19:30)\nTwo hilarious\, history-themed improv shows take you back in time to giggle at past events that definitely (didn’t) happen! \nRedpython: An Improvised Historical Adventure \nA comical\, completely improvised romp through the annals of history. Follow our dashing\, daring and (occasionally) dim-witted protagonist\, Redpython as they muddle their way through some of the silliest situations in history. \nSteves and Wooster \nBertie Wooster may be the archetypal rich idiot with no day job\, but he’s never been one to let a lack of competence interfere with his good-natured enthusiasm.\n\nWhether it’s tracking down a lost dog\, extracting a friend from an unfortunate romantic entanglement\, or becoming embroiled in the shenanigans of his fellow young toffs at the Drones Club\, he often finds other people’s problems become his own!\n\nThankfully he can always rely on his valet\, the inimitable Jeeves\, to steer him through troubled waters.\n\nExpect farcical physicality\, quick-change characters\, and rollicking good fun in this entirely improvised (and entirely unauthorised) tribute to the works of P.G. Wodehouse.

SUMMARY:Double Bill: Storm Compass & What Happened in the Interval
DESCRIPTION:Friday 10th January | 20:00\n(Doors open 19:30)\nTake a break from the January grind with this mind-bending improv double bill! Two genre-defying shows that play with reality and time whilst exploring human relationships\, inspired by audience suggestions that will take on a life of their own. \nMore about the acts in this Double Bill: \nStorm Compass\nBrought to you by Real Positive Poles\, Storm Compass is an improvised genre-defying story of connection beyond lifetimes\, inspired by David Mitchell’s Cloud Atlas. \nLove. Hope. Fear. Etc… \nSome stories never change\, and some stories change all the time. It all depends on when they happen… \nReal Positive Poles present a series of interconnected stories set across time\, from the stone age to the far future and everything in between.  \nInspired by such time spanning stories as Cloud Atlas and Sea of Tranquillity but with no prior knowledge required. \nWhat Happened in the Interval\nTwo people are about to have their lives changed by the power of theatre. The show they see affects them so much that they never see the end. We find out how their lives change and answer the question of what happened in the interval. \nWhat Happened in the Interval was created as part of the Unscripted Players programme.
