SUMMARY:LGBTQ+ Improv Drop-In
DESCRIPTION:Saturdays | 14:00 – 16:00\n\nThis is a fun and friendly workshop led by LGBTQ+  instructors for people who are LGBTQ+\, and is open to all levels. You can be completely new to improv or looking to brush up on your basics and practise improv in a different context.  Sessions will focus on fun\, representing your own identity(ies) in improv\, and connecting with other improvisers. \nWhy are we running these workshops? \nWhilst we aim to be an LGBTQ+ friendly venue and believe that improv is an empowering artform for everyone\, we recognise that for many reasons – not least wanting to avoid stereotypes and prejudice – some people may not feel confident or even safe to be open about their LGBTQ+ identity in classes or when improvising. \nLGBTQ+ improvisers may worry about (or even have experienced) being judged\, misunderstood\, or stereotyped for their identity\, or they may be put off by heteronormative bias (the expectation that heterosexual desire and relationships and binary gender are the default) in improvised scenes. \nThe aim of these workshops is to build community and increase visibility\, and make space for LGBTQ+ stories and experience in improv. This workshop will create a space that allows people to practise bringing their lived experience into their improvisation\, as part of a supportive community. \nA note on the term “LGBTQ+”: \nThe Bristol Improv Theatre uses the term LGBTQ+ as an umbrella term for sexuality and gender identities outside of heterosexuality and the gender binary. The LGBTQ stands for: Lesbian\, Gay\, Bisexual\, Transgender and Queer. The “+” is there to encompass other sexualities and gender identities\, for example asexual\, pansexual\, intersex or non-binary. \nYou will not be expected to disclose how you identify as LGBTQ+ when you join the class – unless you want to! \nTo book your ticket\, simply choose your preferred date below.\n——— \nTicket sales have been moved to our new events site!\nClick here to buy tickets!\n———

SUMMARY:Breathwork for Stress Release - Free Session
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, 19 March 2026 | 18:00 – 19:30\nCome and join us for a FREE Conscious Connected Breathwork session to alleviate the stress and tension that arises from modern\, busy lives. \nIn collaboration with Becky and Suki from Culture Kick Ltd\, we are excited to be hosting a FREE Conscious Connected Breathwork session to encourage more people to try what is an impactful and energising practice. \nWhat is Conscious Connected Breathwork? \nA unique style of breathwork using a deep\, circular mouth-in\, mouth-out pattern\, staying consciously engaged with each inhale and exhale. Sessions are facilitator-led in music-guided rounds with breath retentions. This empowering session will finish with a guided themed visualisation while people relax deeply. \nWhat are the benefits? \nModern life is busy and often overwhelming. Breathwork offers a chance to pause\, reconnect with your body\, and release tension\, stored emotions\, or stagnant energy\, leaving you feeling physically and emotionally lighter. It can help you feel more resilient\, with greater capacity\, clarity\, focus\, and calm\, both at work and at home. Over time\, it also supports a deeper connection with yourself and strengthens your sense of self-trust and self-leadership. \nWhat is the structure of the session? \nThe session begins with a brief introduction to Conscious Connected Breathing\, a demonstration of the pattern\, and time for questions. You’ll then get comfortable lying down with eyes closed\, followed by a short grounding exercise. Then move into 2–3 rounds of breathing to music\, with optional guided breath retentions and finish with a guided visualisation and reading while you relax deeply to music.  \nWhat do I need for the session? \nYou’ll need to lie down\, so bring a yoga mat or something similar\, plus anything that helps you feel comfortable – pillows\, a blanket\, and comfortable\, non-restrictive clothing. Have some water on hand and come with an open mind.  \nThis style of breathwork is for adults aged 18 and over only. \nBreathwork can result in intense physical\, emotional\, and energetic release. Therefore\, it is not advised for individuals with any of the following conditions: \n\nCardiovascular conditions\, including angina\, previous heart attacks\, or pacemakers\nHigh blood pressure\nGlaucoma or retinal detachment\nEpilepsy or seizure disorders\nA personal or family history of aneurysms\nSevere or chronic mental health conditions (unless with prior Dr approval)\nOsteoporosis or any condition exacerbated by intense movement or breathing\nRecent major surgeries or physical injuries\nCurrently taking major medications that impair physical or emotional regulation\nPregnant women are advised not to do this form of breathwork without first consulting and receiving approval from Dr.\nIndividuals with asthma should consult with their Dr and inform the breathwork facilitator before participating. Inhalers must be brought to the session.

DESCRIPTION:Friday\, 27th March 2026 | 19:30\n(Bar Open: 18:30)\nJoin us for a hilarious musical journey into the untold backstory of… well\, we don’t know yet!

Tonight\, with your suggestion and our fearless performers\, we’ll find out! \nWith original music\, hilarious performers and a terrible lack of knowledge\, the cast of Rhymes Against Humanity will create a brand-new piece of musical theatre. Whether they are exploring what happened before The Office opened for business\, how the Avengers first assembled (badly)\, or the secret history behind Bridgerton’s ballrooms\, every show is unique\, and your suggestion shapes the entire evening. \nContains: Mild language\, theatrical chaos\, and very questionable takes on beloved franchises. \n“Defiantly different every night!” \nAge guidance: 16+ \nCLICK HERE TO BUY TICKETS

SUMMARY:The Antics Joke Show Improv Special Ft Degrees of Error
DESCRIPTION:Saturday 28th March 2026 | 19:30\n(Doors Open 18:30)\nIn a special improv twist to Up The Antics’ usual comedy variety show\, every performance will be improvised! With special guests Degrees of Error presenting their new show The Blank Who Blanked Me\, Improvised Sketch Comedy from Up The Antics and a set-list inspired improvised stand-up performance from a local rising star. \nFull Line-Up:\n_ \nTHE BLANK WHO BLANKED ME by DEGREES OF ERROR\nThe Viscount Who Kissed Me. The Fishmonger Who Frisked Me. The Plumber Who Ruined Me. From the loins of Degrees of Error (Murder\, She Didn’t Write) comes a saucy new improv show. The Blank Who Blanked Me is an improvised bodice-ripper fuelled by romance\, passion\, and your audience suggestions. Come and experience a love story never seen before\, and never to be seen again… \n_ \nIMPROV from UP The ANTICS\nBristol’s own Up The Antics will be bringing their unique brand of improv silliness. Just give them a suggestion of a location and watch them fall down the rabbit hole of hilarious characters\, sketches and quick wit. Come see the group that have been featured on BBC Radio 4 Extra\, performed four hit Edinburgh Fringe shows and won awards for their online sketch content. \nLeicester Square Sketch-Off Semi-Finalists \n\n“Brilliantly witty.” ★★★★★ – Inter:Mission\n“Up The Antics are guaranteed to deliver a laugh every minute.” ★★★★ – EdFringeReview\n\n_ \nIMPROVISED STAND-UP from Meg Watts\nSoutheast London geezer bird\, Meg Watts\, is a slightly chaotic stand-up comic with impressively weak life skills. Likely to tell you to be quiet (and then apologise after)\, some say what she’s lacking in common sense\, she makes up for in people pleasing. One thing is for certain\, she’ll make your stomach wiggly\, knickers giggly\, and… brighten up your night. \n_ \nCLICK HERE TO BUY TICKETS
