Instant Wit

Instant Wit, the best in improvised comedy. Fresh and inventive, each show throws up new nuggets of hilarity crafted by a company of the highest calibre. It's a pick-me-up tonic with unexpected twists and a dash of sauce. There'll be sketches, songs and general silliness - and all of it based around audience suggestions. And if you're too shy to shout anything out? Well don't worry, you'll have the chance to write things down in the interval. We're the ones who'll look daft, not you! Instant Wit - a bunch of very Unusual Suspects who are forever on the run from the Comedy Police. Bristol's highly acclaimed Comedy Improvisation Company INSTANT WIT are delighted to be returning to the Kelvin Players Theatre on Saturday 14 November 2026. Welcome to an evening of songs, gags and general silliness - all of it based on audience suggestions. Fancy hearing a Country and Western song about an otter in a plastic rain hat? Your wish is our command. Or how about a very silly Shakespearean scene set in Lidl? 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 - a bunch of very Unusual Suspects who are forever on the run from the Comedy Police! 'These are conspicuously skilful performers - everyone is exhilarated on stage and off!' - The Guardian 'The Instant Wit gang lit up the stage in the Bristol Old Vic Studio. They were extremely funny, on occasion hilarious, and were very clever and skilful with their improvised comedy sketches.' - Bristol Post 'Instant Wit produce a show of surreal, mad-cap improvised hilarity that will leave you aching with laughter, chuckling with the stupidity of it all and, no doubt, wanting to go again.' - The Bristol Eight magazine
