A
event
held at The Hen & Chicken
on Wednesday 11th March. The event starts at 19:30.
Wednesday Night Improv’s monthly show continues with a triple bill packed with quick wit, bold characters, and stories made up on the spot.
Join us for a midweek comedy boost featuring three of Bristol's sharpest improv acts - each one creating a brand-new show right before your eyes, all inspired by audience suggestions.
[1] FAIRLY NON-BIO
In Fairly Non-Bio, a panel of filmmakers at a biopic film’s premiere discuss and dissect the scenes of their film, along the way discovering that maybe it’s not quite as good as they’d hoped. Reality is temporary; film is permanent. But did any of that really happen?
Fairly Non-Bio is the brainchild of Cathal Dowd, drawing together improvisers from across Bristol, including performers from The Groundhogs, I Don’t Know What You’ll Do This Summer, Beansville, and more. After successful launch performances at the Bristol Improv Theatre in 2025, Fairly Non-Bio continue to perform regularly across Bristol.
[2] BIRDWATCHERS
Birdwatchers are a two-prov team made up of Anna Kemp (This is Your Musical) and Paige Tummons (Jazz Police). In their original “epilogue” format, Birdwatchers explore the present and past of 2 characters reminiscing together. The exploratory flashbacks combine comedic elements, heartfelt scenes, and absolutely ridiculous moments that are sure to make you laugh and think that maybe your own family isn’t that weird after all.
Birdwatchers have performed extensively in Bristol and won the Improv Cagematch in 2019.
[3] JAZZ POLICE
American-style long-form improv comedy troupe from Bristol. Explore the world of improv through a hilarious compilation of scenes and bits as these masters of wit take one word and turn it into a show. Jazz Police have performed at multiple comedy festivals, including the Edinburgh International Improv Festival and the Birmingham Comedy Festival.
