SUMMARY:The Improv Gym
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday 11th October | 19:00 – 21:30\nThe Improv Gym will be returning in the New Year!\nImprove your improv!  \nIn your journey through improv\, it isn’t always about acquiring a new skill for your improviser’s toolkit or throwing yourself into a new and unfamiliar style of play.

Each session will be led by a Bristol Improv Theatre Instructor who will warm you up and set you going with exercises\, games\, and scenes that will work on the skill areas that you want to improve.  \nIf you have a particular skill or piece of work that you want to focus on\, let the instructor know and they’ll tailor your session accordingly. If you’re working on something with specialised equipment\, skills\, or knowledge – such as puppetry\, singing\, dance\, or any props/technical requirements – please email hello@improvtheatre.co.uk ahead of time so that we can prepare everything we’ll need to support you in the session. \nEach session lasts 2½ hours and is capped at 16 places. The bar will be open afterwards – why not stick around for a drink and a chat? \nThe Improv Gym is about improving the skills you want to work on – if you’re looking for something a bit more structured or just want to turn up and play\, why not try our Improv Drop-ins?

SUMMARY:Improv Double Bill: Beansville & Spacecats
DESCRIPTION:Friday 22nd September | 20:00 (Doors 19:30)\nThe Bristol Improv Theatre presents a double bill of local improvised comedy from around Bristol. \nThe Workplace – Beansville \nIt’s another day at the office…the shop..the factory…or maybe even that weird place you once worked. You know the one. With all of the romances\, rivalries\, politics and performance issues you’d expect\, all made up on the spot in this improvised workplace comedy. \nBristol-based improvisers Beansville invite you to watch the pilot episode of a wholly improvised workplace comedy based on your suggestions. \nSpacecats \nSpacecats is a surreal episodic comedy show\, where you will see improvisers play anything from atoms to asteroids. Like brave astronomers\, like wise philosophers\, like kittens playing with a ball of yarn\, they delve into the great unanswered questions of the universe such as: \nHow do spoons really feel about each other? Why do seagulls hate tik tok? Can humans and coral reefs ever be friends? \nWe weave abstract stories and concepts into an overarching narrative\, based on your suggestions! Expect to see physical theatre\, contemporary dance\, off-the-cuff beat poetry and irreverent dream sequences in this kaleidoscope of improvised deep space exploration!

SUMMARY:Bristol Comedy History Walk Wrap Party!
DESCRIPTION:Saturday 23rd September | Doors 19:00 | Talk & Q&A begins 19:30\nCome and celebrate the success of the Bristol Comedy History Walk with us! \nNearly 600 people laughed along with the Bristol Comedy History Walk this summer\, our weekly walk created and written by Bristol’s very own Angie Belcher. To celebrate this popular and successful project\, we’ve invited Angie and two of the walk’s actors\, China B Fish and Dave Lovatt\, to come and talk to us about their experiences of creating and performing the walk. \nAngie will tell you about  the experience of writing comedy using historical events as inspiration\, building an engaging script for two people\, and working with a historian and script editor to ensure the stories were told well and with sensitivity. And China and Dave will give us an insight into the experience of performing live theatre with improvised elements in the middle of the day on busy summer Saturdays\, with audiences and events that we could never quite predict! You’ll also get the chance to relive some of the wonderful moments from the walk as our wonderful actors will be performing some of our favourite extracts from the script! \nThis event is FREE to celebrate the end of the project\, but please book a space so that we know what numbers to expect. A selection of light refreshments will be provided\, and the bar will be open.

SUMMARY:The Antics Joke Show Ft. After Dusk
DESCRIPTION:Saturday 21st October | 20:00 (Doors 19:30)\nUp The Antics present a special spooky edition of their hit monthly show of comedy variety\, the Antics Joke Show! A frightfully funny night of comedy awaits featuring special guests After Dusk: The Improvised Twilight Zone \nIMPROV From AFTER DUSK: THE IMPROVISED TWILIGHT ZONE \nFiled mistakenly under E for Mystery: unscripted episodes of the television anthology known as The Twilight Zone. An award winning improvised parody of the 1960s cult classic that inspired Black Mirror. Every show features two unique episodes based on audience suggestions and accompanied by our live violinist. Join us as we cross into a realm adjacent to\, but legally distinct from\, The Twilight Zone. \n‘a beautiful demonstration of everything that improvised performance can be’ ★★★★★ ( The Reviews Hub). \nSKETCH from UP THE ANTICS  \nCome into Up The Antics’ (BBC Radio 4 Extra) haunted house of sketches. With terrifying hilarious scenarios\, creepy (in a safe-space compliant way) characters and a whole lot of skeletons in their comedy closet\, this won’t be a set to miss!  \n‘Brilliantly witty’ ★★★★★ Inter:Mission  \n‘Up The Antics are guaranteed to deliver a laugh every minute’ ★★★★ EdFringeReview  \nSTAND-UP from BURT WILLIAMSON \nAt once silly and serious\, smart and stupid Burt packs dense punchlines with goofy charm to great comedic effect. At the forefront of a new and exciting generation of comics emerging from Bristol\, Burt leads the charge on a new wave of talent in British comedy. \n‘The funniest\, most unlikely\, rudest yet sweetest’ **** – Entertainment Now\n“Absurd and excellent” – Rife magazine \nMC: MILLIE MALONE \nThe ‘people’s princess of Bristol comedy’\, Millie Malone is a rising star on the scene. Bringing a unique voice that is as morally dubious as it is flirty and charming\, watching her is like being chatted up and held at knifepoint all at once. Her surreal and punchline heavy sets have taken her to the Edinburgh Fringe\, BBC radio and some of the most renowned clubs in the UK.
