SUMMARY:The Belltower
DESCRIPTION:Friday 30th January 2026 | 19:30\n(NEW: Bar open from 18:30)\nMiles from civilisation. Out on the fringes of the known world. Down below the deepest depths to way beyond the furthest horizon. Two men\, bound to a solemn duty\, unaware of the torturous toll about to be exacted upon them. By what exactly? Seemingly… nothing at all. \nPray\, delve with us into this unknown. Our two beleaguered performers inflict upon one another a harrowing tale of control\, isolation\, and madness. Your suggestions will take them to the remotest reaches of humanity\, pit them against one another\, and force them to finally confront themselves. \nThis entirely improvised psychological drama is loosely inspired by Robert Eggers’ 2019 film “The Lighthouse”. No prior knowledge of the movie is required or even encouraged to enjoy “The Belltower”. Contains dark themes. \nPerformed by James Cottle and Sam Addy. James also features in the post-apocalyptic “Tales From the Wasteland”\, while Sam directs and stars in the tragic political drama “Blame of Thrones”. Both perform in the David Lynch-inspired show “Red Room”. \nSUPPORT ACT:\nReal Positive Poles present “After Dusk: The Improvised Twilight Zone”\nYou walk into a play\, but none of the actors have learned their lines\, because there are none. 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 turn through your imagination and arrive at your final destination: An improvised twist on The Twilight Zone! \nAccompanied by a live musician\, some of Bristol’s best improvisers create a brand-new episode of the classic science fiction show which inspired Black Mirror. Suitable for all levels of nerdiness and Twilight Zone knowledge\, including none! \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

Whether you’re an improv aficionado or completely new to the art form\, you’re encouraged not just to watch\, but to get involved and experience the thrill of improvisation first-hand. \nFirst Act – Neon Blossoms\nJoin Ben and Laurence as they step into the unknowable and unpredictable world of Neon Blossom. What show will unfold? Even they won’t know\, as they probe the audience and shine a neon light on the darkest\, weirdest seedlings of our minds. \nSecond Act – The Takeover Team\nThe 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!\n\nGuest directed by Charlie Hutchence\nThird Act – Last Day on Earth\nThe first graduate house team of legendary improv night Parents’ Basement take a location from the audience and proceeds to take us on a journey through improvised sketch and character comedy.\n\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 delivers premium laughter. \n\n
