SUMMARY:Theatre: Wednesday Night Improv: February Triple Bill
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday Night Improv’s monthly show continues with a triple bill packed with quick wit\, bold characters\, and stories made up on the spot. \nJoin 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. \n[1] G&T PRESENT: FUNK CAKE\nWelcome to the Funk Café. Two improvisers order tea and coffee. The improvisers are also given a slice of Funk Cake. Neither of the improvisers know ahead of time what emotions are baked into their delicious treats. But the only way out of those emotions is to eat the entire piece of cake before them. Every. Last. Crumb. Only then can their emotional state shift and change. Only then can they resolve their spirit. \nExperienced players Gemma Revell and Tara Judah must work together to get through some of the most challenging aspects of human experience\, no matter how bitter\, sweet\, sour or saccharine the emotions they’re given. Taking audience suggestions for their emotional states\, G&T cannot leave the Funk Café until every bite of their funk cakes are eaten and their emotional states are fully resolved. \n[2] BEANSVILLE PRESENTS: THE WORKPLACE\nIt’s another day at the office… the shop… the factory… or maybe even that weird place you once worked. You know the one. With all of the romances\, rivalries\, politics and performance issues you’d expect\, all made up on the spot in this improvised workplace comedy. Watch the pilot episode of a wholly improvised workplace comedy based on your suggestions. \n[3] PRESSURE COOKER: THE IMPROVISED RESTAURANT SHOW\nPressure Cooker whisks you into a fictional restaurant where a dynamic ensemble brings the chefs\, customers\, and kitchen chaos to life. Using your stories as ingredients\, our performers cook up hilarious\, unpredictable scenes on the spot. From meltdowns to menu mayhem\, it’s comedy served hot and fast. \nWinners of the 2025 Bristol Improv Gauntlet | “Pure Comedic Alchemy” — Bristol 24/7 \n—\nWhether you’re a seasoned comedy fan or just curious about what happens when performers make it all up as they go\, this is a perfect night to dive into Bristol’s thriving improv scene. Expect laughter\, surprises\, and something completely different – every single time.\n— \nPart of the Wednesday Night Improv series – We’re on the second Wednesday of every month!

SUMMARY:Jazz: Sam Crockatt Quartet
DESCRIPTION:Sam Crockatt – tenor sax\, Dale Hambridge – piano\, Henrik Jensen – bass\, Andy Hague – drums \nSaxophonist Sam Crockatt returns to the club to guest with a specially assembled house trio. \nHaving graduated from the Royal Academy\, Sam Crockatt formed a band with Gwilym Simcock\, Oli Hayhurst and Ben Reynolds leading to debut recording Howeird in 2008\, which won a Parliamentary Jazz Award later that year. Flood Tide followed commended by The Guardian for it’s “Haunting lyricism”. Citing John Coltrane\, Joe Henderson\, Wayne Shorter\, Sonny Rollins and Lee Konitz among his musical influences\, Sam’s ability to marry his understanding of past masters with contemporary styles keeps him constantly in demand and has taken him to stages at the EFG London Jazz Festival\, Cheltenham Jazz Festival\, Kragujevac Jazz Festival (Serbia) and WDR Festival (Cologne). He also appears on albums by vocalist Kaz Simmons and pianist Sam Leak. In 2011 Sam and his young family moved to Mells in Somerset\, the peal of the bells in his new home village inspiring the title track of most recent recording Mells Bells – the album has drawn praise from such eminent publications as The Guardian\, Jazzwise Magazine\, The Telegraph and The Financial Times. \n“Mells Bells further burnishes Crockatt’s substantial reputation” – The Guardian. \nA rare appearance at the club for pianist Dale Hambridge who is always super busy – he has previously played at the Hen and Chicken with Jingu Bang\, and has long associations with performers such as Moonlight Saving Time\, We Are Leif\, Nick Malcolm and Lucy Moon. \nBassist Henrik Jensen moved from Denmark to London in 1997 and is a graduate of the Royal Academy. He has toured the world from Tokyo to Moscow with various modern jazz projects and also as part of the band for close harmony group The Puppini Sisters. Henrik has previously appeared at the club as band leader with his quartet Followed By Thirteen and trio featuring Danish pianist Esben Tjalve. \nAlthough probably best known as a trumpeter Andy Hague has always played drums to an equal extent\, and has backed many visiting guest players both at the Be-Bop Club and back in the day at the legendary Albert Inn.
