What's On Saturday 9th July in Bristol

Events on Saturday 9th July

“The debut stand-up hour from "rising star" (Ox in a Box), "one to watch" (Funny Women) and multi-competition finalist: No More Mr Nice Chelsea Exploring what it is to be ‘nice’ and when it’s time to stop, where being lovely comes from and the things ‘nice’ people don’t talk about like sex, drugs and rock n roll (well, Nickelback). It’s a show for anyone who’s ever been afraid of their wild side and what happens when we hold it in…and let it out. Come if you say sorry too much, love philosophy and/or pop culture, and like your comedy playful and thoughtful. Also Chelsea is openly hostile. (As heard on BBC Radio 4 Extra, writer for Mock the Week).”

“Lanessa has been performing shows all her life. Delighting audiences [parents, siblings and home-schooling group] with her many, many, many talents, and helping turn lemons into, well, slightly sweeter lemons. Through songs, stand-up and stripping, Lanessa creates a world where we can feel happy to explore life’s playful side. Lanessa Long is a performer from Oregon. Fresh from clown school and is excited for this show to be her guaranteed breakthrough hit. Winner, Best Improv Show United Solo Theatre Festival, 2018. 'Can’t be tamed' (ComeHereFloyd.com). 'Invigorating talent' (DailyInfo.co.uk). 'A natural comedienne' (LAMusicCriticBlog.com).”

“Do you spend a lot of time talking to your plants? Do you like to imagine that your stuffed animals also enjoy the new reality tv show you started? In this workshop, Raina will be leading you through a series of puppetry and writing exercises to explore how the things we own can be used for devising new pieces of literature and performance. Based on their work devising their solo show MANIC, this workshop will give participants an opportunity to get silly and create a new piece of work! A great space for artists of all levels and mediums to experiment and play.”
