SUMMARY:Arabian Nights Live
DESCRIPTION:Saturday 22nd November | 19:30 – 21:30\n(Doors open 19:00)\nA comedy cabaret of Middle Eastern delights!\nA bold\, high-energy interactive variety show unlike anything else at the festival—where ancient epics collide with the beautifully chaotic reality of diaspora life. Brought to you by Europe’s first all-SWANA comedy improv troupe (South West Asian and North African). \nArabian Nights Live is part improv show\, part music gig\, part unruly family gathering. Blending hilarious scenes\, original songs\, and live instrumentation—with no shortage of satire—it reimagines the rebellious spirit of the 1001 Nights tales through a modern lens. \nCaution: There may be camels. \nSmart\, silly\, and refreshingly unfiltered\, the show blends slick improvisation\, musicality\, and joyful subversion to celebrate SWANA identity in all its complexity. \nA night of myth\, music\, and mischief. \nPrevious shows: \n★★★★★ “Sheer Comedy genius… the best improvisation” -Fringe Review \n★★★★ “Inventive\, witty\, brilliantly acted” -Broadway Baby \n

SUMMARY:Maydays Present: Happily Never After
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, 13th December | 19:30\n(Doors open 19:00)\nOn the 13th of December\, the Maydays invite you to hold on to some nightmares before giving in to Christmas when they bring their 5-star improvised show\, Happily Never After\, to the Bristol Improv Theatre. A ‘darkly comedic’ twisted musical tale inspired by gothic themes\, fairytales\, and the warped imaginations that brought us Lemony Snicket\, Beetlejuice\, Shockheaded Peter and Grimm’s Tales. \nPlucked from the seed of your suggestion\, The Maydays will take you on a unique journey – weaving a gothic tale that’s completely different every time. There’s no telling what strange characters\, innocent beasts or talking objects you might meet along the way! \nThe Maydays have been wowing audiences across the UK and Europe with packed houses and standing ovations for their spontaneous show\, which Reviews Hub called ‘touching\, incredibly funny’ and ‘rich in narrative twists and charm’. \nWith a bespoke\, improvised soundtrack for every show\, this will be a truly creepy\, mischievous and fantastical experience.
