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.

AFTER DUSK: THE IMPROVISED TWILIGHT ZONE

You walk into a play, but none of the actors have learned their lines, because there are none. This show hasn’t been written yet. A nightmare or a dream? Who’s to say? Up ahead, there’s a sign. We take a turn through your imagination and arrive at your final destination: An improvised twist on The Twilight Zone!

Accompanied by a live violinist, some of Bristol’s best improvisers create a brand-new episode of the classic science fiction show which inspired Black Mirror. Suitable for all levels of nerdiness and Twilight Zone knowledge, including none!

American-style longform improv comedy troupe from Bristol. Having performed at the Edinburgh International Improv Festival and the Birmingham Comedy Festival, 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.
