This month under the Spotlight we have a spooky special just in time for Halloween! We'll be presenting the best of horror themed Bristol improv shows. Starring teen-slasher parody 'I Don't Know What You'll Do This Summer' and very mysterious occurrences 'After Dusk: The Improvised Twilight Zone'
*I Don't Know What You'll Do This Summer*
This summer a group of friends will set out the trip of their lives. But all is not well as a mysterious and yet to be determined force puts them all in peril.
Will they blindly ignore sensible warnings from strangers in petrol stations? Why can’t they just use their phones to get help? How could anyone think this is worth a direct to dvd sequel?
See how it all goes wrong for our characters and their friendships.
A comedy inspired by teen horror films from the 90’s and 00’s.
*After Dusk: The Improvised Twilight Zone*
Filed mistakenly under E for Mystery: unscripted episodes of the television anthology known as The Twilight Zone. An improvised parody of the 1960s TV show that inspired Black Mirror. Accompanied by a live violinist, some of Bristol’s best improvisers create two brand-new episodes of the cult sci-fi classic. Suitable for all levels of nerdiness and Twilight Zone knowledge, including none!
Winner of The Brighton Seagull’s Best Improvised Show award and top 3 shortlisted for the Best Show in all categories by The Reviews Hub at the Brighton Fringe 2022.
