SUMMARY:Track 96
DESCRIPTION:Friday 12th January | 20:00 (doors 19:30)\n  \nTrack 96 is London’s premiere Hip Hop improv group. Based on your suggestions\, we create a world of rhyme and rhythm. Our live show is a high-octane mix of free styling\, short games\, and scenes that break into hip-hop musical numbers\, all accompanied by a live beatboxer. \nWith support from The Groundhogs\nMaking waves on the Bristol comedy circuit\, these mischief-makers are off to the Big City with their own brand of improvised deja-vu. First they’ll improvise a comedy sketch for you. Then they’ll repeat it. Then they’ll repeat it again. Maybe they’ll even do it AGAIN after that. But will the sketch be exactly the same each time…? (Spoiler: It will not) \n  \n\n\n

SUMMARY:The Little Improv Festival 2024: These Folk
DESCRIPTION:Friday 22nd March | 20:00\nThese Folk is a funny and beautiful improvised folk musical\, performed by Susan Harrison & Justin Brett (both longstanding members of Showstopper! The Improvised Musical) and accompanied by incredible improvised guitar and percussion.  \nEverything is made up onthe spot; the characters\, folklore\, story\, lyrics\, harmonies and music. \n“These Folk is really funny right off the bat….a perfect blend of self- awareness\, with a commitment to the story and its characters- no matter how silly”. (indiependent.co.uk) \n“These Folk is that rare combo of beautiful and funny. I laughed\, I cried\, and I walked away completely inspired”. (Kevin John Gillese\, former AD Dad’s Garage\, USA) \nPlus\, bonus show from The Groundhogs!\nMaking waves on the Bristol comedy circuit\, these mischief-makers are back with their own brand of improvised deja-vu. First they’ll improvise a comedy sketch for you. Then they’ll repeat it. Then they’ll repeat it again. Maybe they’ll even do it AGAIN after that. But will the sketch be exactly the same each time…? (Spoiler: It will not)

SUMMARY:The Bareback Kings
DESCRIPTION:Friday 29th March | 20:00\nThe Bareback Kings are a not-so-regular group of women having a go at being regular dudes.

If you like your comedy anarchic\, real\, and with a sock down its pants\, you’ll like The Bareback Kings. \n“Genuinely hilarious” – The Sunday Times \n“Hilarious and raucous explosion…The group have deftly distilled the essence of lads\, lads\, lads…I could literally watch ALL DAY.” – Phoenix Remix.

DESCRIPTION:Sunday 11th August | 19:30 (doors open 19:00)\n“Big Quiffy Bingo brings a smile to even the hardest of hearts”  ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Broadway Baby \nFrom the very towering tips of his perfectly-coiffed quiff down to the tips of his bejewelled toes\, Boogaloo Stu is altogether completely ridiculous\, simply fabulous and utterly idiotic. Following his fourth annual sell-out run at the Brighton Spiegeltent\, the legendary bawdy raconteur Boogaloo Stu is finally taking his outrageous one-man show\, Big Quiffy Bingo\, out on the road. Join him for his gloriously playful and anarchic bingo experience\, where utter filth\, joyous fun and flashmob dances collide.  \nYou will feel the tension rise as Stu’s balls begin to churn; when they finally drop\, you ‘ll get non-stop nonsense\, outrageous antics\, buttock-clenching workouts\, hilarious prizes and some very ballsy bingo to boot. Stu’s gift hamper will be stuffed to the brim with all manner of exotic prizes\, so come on down and win it big!  \nBoogaloo Stu\nWith a thoroughly distinctive style\, Boogaloo Stu is something of a showbiz polymath. Stu inhabits his own unique visually rich world which is irresistibly inviting\, filled with an optimism that sparkles as brightly as the vintage lurex threads in one of his bespoke fashion looks. From his roots in fashion design\, cabaret performance and DJ-ing\, Stu subsequently sharpened his skills as a theatre-maker; with his audience always at the heart of his work\, he developed and toured nationally with a number of unique and innovative theatre shows. In recent years\, he has honed his talents as a visual artist\, creating strikingly beautiful dioramas\, prints and ceramics. \nboogaloostu.co.uk \ninstagram.com/boogaloostu \nTickets are “pay what you can”\, with a suggested donation ticket of £5 and a “supporter” donation ticket of £10.

We’re in a lower-class jazz club in New York\, where the vibe is hopeful for new beginnings – or is that optimism misguided? Join ImprompTwo\, a duo favorite at festivals around the world\, as they create a show filled with regrets\, passion ignited (or perhaps denied)\, and beautiful silences\, all set within a world that is trying to find itself again.

They have studied with many of the leading improvisers in the world\, including Susan Messing\, David Razowsky\, Impro Theatre LA\, Mark Phoenix\, Tony Reliage\, Craig and Carla Cackowski\, and their coach Gael Dooneweerd-Perry (Amsterdam) to name a few. \nThis show will take place in the Bar of the Bristol Improv Theatre.

SUMMARY:The Awkward Guide to Friendship
DESCRIPTION:Friday 27th September | 20:00 (doors open 19:30)\nHouse of Figs presents: The Awkward Guide to Friendship \n– Does the cat get your tongue when you’re meeting new people? \n– Does it take a while to get to know you? \n– Do you wander lonely as a cloud? \n– Are you still trying to believe that you belong\, even surrounded by friends? \nThen climb aboard… \nHouse of Figs bring you their new work navigating the choppy waters of friendship\, from perfectly platonic meet-cutes to courageous conversations… and beyond. Join poet Beth Calverley and musician Beth Roberts on a voyage through deep friendship feelings\, safely afloat in an otherworldly choir of spoken and sung voices. \nThe Awkward Guide to Friendship traces the tale of Beth & Beth’s friendship\, interspersing the duo’s own experiences of loneliness and connection with voice notes of other people talking about friendship\, original songs and immersive soundscapes. Along the way\, they invite their new friends (you!) to help inspire some live improvisations and join in with collective singing – though quiet listening is equally welcomed. \nPraise for House of Figs: \n“The definition of wholesome fun” – Shambala audience member \n“Hypnotic… radiates tenderness and awe” – Sabotage Reviews \n“One of those truly exciting creative moments where I feel a more complete\, more feeling\, more alive person for having experienced your thoughts & words.” – Awkward Guide audience member \n\n\nAbout House of Figs:\nHouse of Figs is a collaboration between Beth Calverley (The Poetry Machine) and Beth Roberts (Hands of the Heron / Hedera / Tryani Collective). Beth and Beth hold parallel roles as Poet and Musician in Residence for their local NHS Trust. From hospitals to festivals\, they create a held space wherever they perform\, illuminating the value of care for ourselves and others. They have headlined events at Lyra Bristol Poetry Festival and Komedia Bath\, and performed at Shambala\, HowTheLightGetsIn\, Green Man\, WOMAD\, Good Grief and Bristol Harbour Festival.  \nIn 2023\, the duo shared their multifaceted\, ADHD-fuelled work-in-progress and (to their relief)\, found that it deeply resonated with audiences in the moment of performance and long after the show. Since then\, the duo have honed their tangle of tangents into a powerful gig theatre piece\, with a mission that no-one will ever again think: “everyone finds friendship easier than I do.” \nFollow them @ourhouseoffigs \n  \nPhoto credit: Paul Blakemore
