About Bristol Longform Comedy - and what IS Longform Improv?

Bristol Longform Comedy is a performer-led, grassroots, community-driven collective committed to producing and supporting Longform Improvisation in Bristol. It’s a style of improv that has given us some of the world’s most famous sketch and improv comedians and takes elements of “shortform” improv (improv games that are quickly interchanged) to new and ridiculous heights.

Longform Improv creates a continuous, unscripted performance that unfolds in a series of interconnected sketches, full of wit, spontaneity, and surprising moments.
