You decide who makes it to the end\, and ultimately which team goes home with the glory! \n“A good value evening’s entertainment and plenty of playfulness. Five stars!” \n★★★★★ Bristol 24/7 \nAn update on our ticket prices\nWe understand that right now\, times are tough for a lot of people. It’s important to us that everyone who wants to attend our shows is able to do so as easily as possible and is welcomed with open arms.

SUMMARY:Improv Drop-ins
DESCRIPTION:Mondays | 19:30 – 21:30\nLooking to stretch your improvising muscles? Then our drop-ins are for you! \nOur drop-ins run every Monday evening and alternate between scene workshops and classes focused on specific skills to help you pad out your improvisers tool-kit. \nDuring our scene workshops\, you’ll receive supportive and constructive side-coaching\, tailored to the group and designed to develop your confidence and improvisation skills. On the other hand\, the regular drop-ins will take a specific skill and explore it through games\, exercises and scenes. \nFacilitated by an experienced Bristol Improv Theatre instructor\, drop-ins are a great chance to try improv at Bristol Improv Theatre and connect with others. \nAny questions\, please don’t hesitate to get in touch at hello@improvtheatre.net. \nIf you are brand new to improv\, you may prefer to try the monthly Improv Taster Session. \nUpdate on Pricing \nFrom 8th May 2023\, we’re reducing the price of our drop-ins in order to make them more accessible during the cost of living crisis. We don’t want money to be a barrier to access so no-one will be turned away due to lack of funds. If you cannot attend an event due to financial barriers\, please feel free to turn up to attend the session or you can reserve a space by emailing us at hello@improvtheatre.net. Please note\, drop-in spaces are limited so we’d recommend reserving a space in advance.  \n(Please note that the new pricing cannot be applied retrospectively to tickets already purchased). \n\n\n

SUMMARY:The Improvised Stand-Up Comedy Show (Christmas Special)
DESCRIPTION:Saturday 16th December | 20:00 (Doors 19:30)\n5 Comedians. No prep. No rehearsal. No clue. \nTop-tier local comedians take to the stage to perform stand-up\, based on audience festive suggestions. Featuring improvised stand-up routines\, whip smart one-liners\, audience suggested sets\, and much more! \nALEXIS COWARD:\nAlexis’s comedy is based on her awkward stumbles through adult life. Alexis has performed across the UK\, Australia and once in a pub in Canada. Alexis’s disarming story telling style is “adequate”according to her family. And “quite funny…not Gervais” man in a blue polo shirt\, Reading UK. \nJOE TAYLOR-MILLS:\nHigh energy flights of fancy\, quick wit and a desperate\, desperate need for love. Like a firework going off in a depression factory\, Joe shares his weird and slightly broken mind as loudly and quickly as he can. Then keeps sharing\, and then honestly probably over shares a bit. \nHOLLY LEGGETT:\nOriginally from Brighton\, Holly is a 25 and barely alive comedian. Holly regularly performs in Bath and Bristol but has recently been branching out to London and the Midlands\, as well as running her own monthly new material night at The Bath Brew House. Hollys humour has been described as dry\, dark and filthy with her favourite review as follows; ‘jokes were funny but she made me sad’. \nTOM HUTCHINSON: \nRed-haired rising star of the South West\, Tom Hutchinson brims with high energy absurdism and sparky tangents\, bringing everything wild improvisations and witty asides to introspective anecdotes and relatable ramblings. Bath New Act 2022 Finalist. \nJAMES CRAWLEY: \nJames Crawley is a storytelling stand-up and MC known for his mix of contemplative wit\, unabashed silliness\, and interactive performances. First making his face known in the South West comedy scene in 2017\, James then spent 2 years in Liverpool. He’s now back as an established part of the Cheltenham Comedy scene and is recognised on comedy line-ups in Bath\, Bristol\, Birmingham and beyond. \n\n\n  \nAn update on our ticket prices\nWe understand that right now\, times are tough for a lot of people. It’s important to us that everyone who wants to attend our shows is able to do so as easily as possible and is welcomed with open arms. Therefore\, we’ve introduced a new open concession ticket price capped at £10 for all of our Christmas shows and beyond.

SUMMARY:Unscripted Players Big Christmas Special
DESCRIPTION:Monday 18th December | 20:00 (Doors 19:30)\nThis Christmas celebrate with our amateur improv company\, the Unscripted players. Featuring two previous Unscripted Players shows with a Christmas twist and an improv jam to finish.  \nRoll for Romance\nTwo things that go as well together as cheese and wine – nerdy roleplaying games and romance.

If the world was ending\, what would be the one thing you’d want to survive? Based on your suggestions\, our team of dystopian adventurers will explore a new world of endless possibilities… well\, depending on what’s left over from earth’s devastation. \n\n\n  \nAn update on our ticket prices\nWe understand that right now\, times are tough for a lot of people. It’s important to us that everyone who wants to attend our shows is able to do so as easily as possible and is welcomed with open arms.

SUMMARY:Up The Antics New Year’s Eve Party
DESCRIPTION:Sunday 31st December | 19:00 – Late\nBack from the success of their sold out New Year’s Eve party in 2022\, Up The Antics have put together a stellar line-up to bring in 2024 at the Bristol Improv Theatre.

From the deranged minds that brought you the hit improvised whodunnit Murder\, She Didn’t Write comes a show inspired by the audience’s resolutions and exploring the space where noble aims for the year ahead collide with hilarious unintended consequences.\n\nSKETCH from UP THE ANTICS \nUp The Antics (as heard on BBC Radio 4 Extra) bring a showcase of some of their best sketches. After 10+ years of performing together\, 4 Edinburgh Fringe shows releasing an award-winning sketch comedy pilot\, and establishing a hit monthly night of comedy variety\, there’s some gems to choose from!  \nLeicester Square Sketch-Off Semi-Finalists  \n“Brilliantly Witty” ★★★★★ Inter:Mission  \n“Up The Antics are guaranteed to deliver a laugh every minute” ★★★★ EdFringeReview  \nAfter the shows\, we will have MUSIC in the bar to keep us dancing until 2024! \nEvent Timings:\n7pm: Fizz Reception \n8pm – 10.30pm: Performances \n10.30pm – Late: Dancing in the bar to see in the New Year! \nTicket includes a glass of prosecco on arrival.
