This month under the Spotlight we have The Grumpkins and Blame of Thrones.


* The Grumpkins *

Bristol-based improvisers Emma T and Pete Leaman make up the semi-mythical and all-magical duo The Grumpkins.

Their (very) potentially ground-breaking masterpiece of a show may feature anything from adventure, romance, aliens, angels, demons, knights, drama, mystery, intrigue and a well-crafted gritty limited streaming series about a mismatched pair of detectives. It could also feature two construction workers talking about their favourite types of pie.

What will they do? We don’t know.
Where did they come from? Cotton-eye joe.



* Blame of Thrones *

As the Monarch lingers on their deathbed, who will seize the crown to become the all-powerful successor?

Blame of Thrones is a razor-sharp improvised political court drama that fuses the grandeur of historical intrigue with the unpredictable hilarity of live comedy. Each performance is a one-of-a-kind spectacle, conjured entirely from audience suggestions and the twisted imaginations of our cast.

Whether you're a history buff, a theatre lover, or simply someone who enjoys watching aristocrats squabble over imaginary kingdoms, Blame of Thrones delivers a night of drama, comedy, and courtly chaos that will leave you wondering: who really holds the power—and who’s just holding the blame?
