Due to rising costs and reduced audience spend amidst the cost of living crisis, the Bristol Improv Theatre is under threat of closure. We need your help now, more than ever to save our theatre and secure its long-term future by making the building accessible to all people.
We believe that what we do is of immense value, both to Bristolians and the wider UK improv community. Our work brings connection, creativity and joy to so many people. It would be a truly devastating loss if we were no longer able to provide transformative and life-changing events to people across Bristol and beyond.
Over the past year, we’ve faced a perfect storm of increased running costs alongside reduced audience spend. We receive no regular public funding and rely solely on the revenue made from ticket sales, venue hire, and bar sales at shows.
We need to raise at least £20,000 by September to keep our doors open and plan for a sustainable future where we can continue delivering the benefits of improv to an even further array of people. This funding will enable us to plan for the long-term and make necessary changes to make our building fully accessible to everyone who wants to use our space.
If you’ve thought about donating to us before but haven't got round to it; if you've never been to the Bristol Improv Theatre before and always wanted to; or if you’re on the fence about taking a class or coming to a show, now is the time. Make the most of this hidden gem in Bristol and help us continue spreading the joy of improv to more people for many years to come.
