Britain's What's On Event Guide
Instant Wit
Welcome to an evening of songs, gags and general silliness – all of it based on audience suggestions. Got problems with a pet or a neighbour? How about a scene where a singing hairdresser solves them for you? Or a sketch, set on the Woolwich Ferry, where the actors can only use a set number of words every time they speak? But don’t worry, nobody is forced to participate, and we even build in a section where anonymous suggestions, written down in the interval, can be acted out. Good suggestions receive flying packets of custard; the best of the evening gets a bottle of wine!
Many people have seen improvised comedy on TV but remember, this is not recorded and edited, but totally live! If you like your comedy fast-paced and with a slightly unusual edge, this is definitely for you.
Instant Wit use some of the best of local talent and the team this time round will include Mike Akers (dramaturg for Jane Eyre National Theatre and Peter Pan Bristol Old Vic), musician Marcus Valentine (The Cube Orchestra) plus Artistic Directors Chris Grimes and Stephanie Weston.
Instant Wit – a bunch of very Unusual Suspects who are forever on the run from the Comedy Police!
