The Standup Picture Show

The Standup Picture Show The Standup Picture Show - screening cult, classic and current comedy films and showcasing stand up No longer open mic, acts are selected by the team.

The standup Picture Show has been running since January 2012. It was created by Cube volunteer and programmer Marian Lawrence. Marian wanted to set up a night that allowed local stand ups to have a space where they could perform and to show classic comedies that were made for the big screen. Cube volunteers, Alice Matthews and Dave Taylor joined the team. When The Standup Picture Show began, the s

tand up was open mic, usually 10-12 acts in a night doing 5 minute sets. Popularity grew and the Cube began to attract experienced stand ups. The amount of acts performing each night was reduced to 8 and set times increased. The Standup Picture Show has gone through lots of changes, including a name change, it was previously known as Comedy Combo. The night now hosts 6 comedians each doing longer sets and films chosen to screen now include cult and current releases as well as classics. We also work hard to try and bring the film to life around the building - expect plenty of surprises! https://twitter.com/StandupPicShow

We screened Mike Birbiglia's Sleepwalk With Me Movie back in 2014 at Cube Microplex.

His latest effort Don't Think Twice is a really wonderful film for anyone that's ever tried to 'make it'. Your only chance to see it in a cinema is on May 21st, and it'll be preceded by live improv by Bristol's amazing Closer Each Day Company.

The members of long-running New York improv troupe The Commune find their relationships tested when one of them gets offered the opportunity of a lifetime.
