SUMMARY:The Improv Gym
DESCRIPTION:Fortnightly Wednesdays\, starting 24th January | 19:00 – 22:00\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. Sometimes you need to practise your existing skills\, polish up your play\, and get your reps in with some feedback/pointers and constructive critique from an expert. Enter the Improv Gym! \nPart rehearsal room\, part personal improv training\, the Improv Gym is a facilitated space where you can work on your skills and draw upon the expertise of our experienced teaching staff. 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\, before providing individualised feedback\, coaching\, and critique to help you get to the next level. \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 theatreschool@improvtheatre.co.uk ahead of time so that we can prepare everything we’ll need to support you in the session. \nEach session lasts 3 hours and is capped at 8 places.  \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? \n\n\nChanges to timings and pricing\nFollowing a successful trial period during the Summer and early Autumn\, we’ve made some slight changes to the Improv Gym for 2024. \nThe Improv Gym will run fortnightly from 24th January. Each session is now 3 hours long and capped at 8 places to allow for more bespoke feedback and coaching from our instructor. As such\, the price of the session has increased to account for the added time and more personalised experience. With affordability in mind\, we are continuing to offer a concession price to try to keep the session accessible for those who would find the full price to be a barrier. For those that are able to pay more we also have a supporter ticket price\, where the additional income will go towards the running of these sessions. \nIf the concession price cost is still a barrier for you\, and you feel that the Improv Gym is the best option for you to develop as an improviser\, please contact us at hello@improvtheatre.co.uk and we can discuss flexible payment options and/or bursary spaces with you.

SUMMARY:BBFC Presents: PLANKTON (AKA CREATURES OF THE ABYSS) (1994)
DESCRIPTION:Thursday 25th January | 20:00 (doors open 19:30)\n“I have the feeling that the secret of this ship is somehow tied to these strange fish.” \nJust when you thought 2024 was safe from bad movies\, we’re back with an Italian production that takes us back to the era of big hair\, not-so-special effects and mutant sea creatures! \nDirector Alvaro Passeri had previously used his animation skills on the likes of Cinema Paradiso and The Wild Beasts\, but is able to wringe every penny out of this low budget horror that sees a group of horny teens faced the results of science run amok! \nReminiscent of Troll 2 with its insane dialogue and wonderfully insane visual effects\, Plankton is the perfect way to get the year off to a flying (fish) start! \nFive teenagers embark on a boating trip off the coast of Florida. The teens get hopelessly lost at sea after they get caught in a fierce storm. Fortunately\, the quintet stumble across an abandoned yacht in the middle of the ocean with a mysterious biology lab on board it. Unfortunately\, there are also ferocious mutated prehistoric fish running amok on the yacht. Will any of the teens survive this harrowing ordeal? \n\n“Some days you just wanna sit back with a pumpkin spice latte and watch monstrous marine life eat some Italian people.” – MST3K Project \n“I have now seen this film THREE times\, and I’m still not sure what to make of it.” – HorrorNews.net \n\nThis film and event is certified ’18’. \nAll tickets: £5

SUMMARY:Sci-fi Double Feature: Spon Trek: The Next Improvisation and Waiting for Robo(T)
DESCRIPTION:Friday 26th January | 20:00\n  \nIt’s a Science Fiction Double Feature. Two improv shows\, one Sci-Fi theme. Join us for two brand new stories inspired by your favourite shows and science fiction concepts. \n  \nSpon Trek: The Next Improvisation \nSpace: the final frontier. These are the unscripted voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its continuing mission: to explore strange new worlds. To seek out new jokes and new civilizations. To boldly go where no one has gone before! \nAs if there wasn’t quite enough Star Trek right now\, join us for a “wonderfully geeky\,” (Edfringe Review) brand new episode of the cult sci-fi classic. Inspired by your audience suggestions\, this comedic parody is suitable for all levels of nerdiness and Star Trek knowledge\, including none! \n  \nReal Positive Poles are a Bristol based sci-fi improv troupe. Their previous shows have included The Y Files an improvised X Files and After Dusk an improvised Twilight Zone which won best improv show at the Brighton Fringe 2022 and was top 3 shortlisted for best show in all categories. \n“A beautiful demonstration of everything that improvised performance can be” ★★★★★ – The Reviews Hub \n“Quirky\, offbeat and hilarious” – Swindon Fringe Review \n“Absolutely perfect improv” – Starburst Magazine \nWaiting for Robo(t) \nIn the fast-paced modern world of automation and AI assistants\, it’s an increasingly common worry that a robot might one day replace you and make you obsolete. \nBut what if it’s already happening? What if your colleagues\, friends\, family – even yourself – have already been replaced by synthetic imitators? \nWell\, worry no more! GC Industries is proud to present this live demonstration of their groundbreaking Voight-Kampff test. Sit back and watch as our trained interrogator puts an unsuspecting suspect under the spotlight and finds out whether they’re as human as they claim to be. \nFrom the joyful idiots that brought you Steves and Wooster and Holy Unauthorised Improv Parody\, Batman! comes a new show inspired by that one bit from the beginning of Blade Runner. \n  \n\n\n

SUMMARY:The Antics Joke Show ft. The Joke Clinic
DESCRIPTION:Saturday 27th January | 20:00 (19:30 doors)\nUp The Antics present their hit monthly night of comedy variety. Including sketches\, stand-up\, and improv\, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. This month’s special guests are THE JOKE CLINIC \nTHE JOKE CLINIC\nComedians up and down the country and to the coastal regions at the sides have been desperately crying out for a saviour. “Help!” They’ve been saying. “Help! My jokes require the tender loving care of two critically acclaimed and established comedians who know exactly what audiences crave.” \nAnd their prayers have been answered in full. The Joke Clinic is here\, comprised of Charlie Bowers & Walter Jack\, comedy aficionados with a penchant for razor-sharp wit and a snappy punchline. \nIMPROV from UP THE ANTICS \nBristol-based Up The Antics (as heard on BBC Radio 4) take us down the rabbit hole of improvised sketch comedy. With the suggestion of a location\, the antics will explore the characters and journeys taken to arrive there\, with hilarious results. \n‘Brilliantly witty’ ★★★★★ Inter:Mission  \n‘Up The Antics are guaranteed to deliver a laugh every minute’ ★★★★ EdFringeReview  \nSTAND-UP FROM AMY JANE BLACK  \nAmy Jane Black has had quite enough of societies nonsense and has gone on strike from her job: a single-parent. Warning: she is extremely manipulative and will convince you to join her on the picket line. BBC radio bristol: “an absolute delight” Greta thunberg: “a role-model” Ex-boyfriend: “avoid” \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. \n\n\n
