An Evening of Stand-up, Sketch & Improv Comedy

THE ANTICS JOKE SHOW

Up The Antics present their hit monthly night of comedy variety. Including sketches, stand-up, and improv, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

Previous headliners have included Jollyboat, The Kagools and Susan Harrison, as well as performances from the award-winning Antics themselves.

Saturday 22nd February

Up The Antics present their hit format of comedy variety, featuring the best stand-up, improv & sketch comedy. This month, they will be joined by Chortle Best Newcomer Award nominees The Death Hilarious!

SKETCH COMEDY from THE DEATH HILARIOUS

Welsh, working-class firebrands The Death Hilarious are a sketch-centric comedy duo cut from the same rag as The League Of Gentlemen and The Mighty Boosh. They parade a coterie of crazed characters such as Creole exorcists, apelike weirdos and a homemade sex robot. Variously described as immersive, horrifying and joyous, The Death Hilarious mix the profound and the puerile with no thought for their own safety. They never sleep, these boys. They are dancing, dancing. They say that they will never die.

Up The Antics

After wowing audiences with their hilarious sketch and improv comedy at The Edinburgh Fringe, Bristol’s own Up The Antics will be bringing their unique brand of improv silliness. Just give them a suggestion of a location and watch them fall down the rabbit of hole of hilarious characters, sketches and quick wit. Come see this group that have been featured on BBC Radio 4 Extra and won awards for their online sketch content
