One suggestion. One story. No survivors.

What happens

Before the show you’ll be asked a question: if the world was ending, what’s the one thing you’d want to survive? Write your answer down, drop it in the skull, and hope for the best.

One answer gets pulled out at random and from that moment on our twisted and talented cast of wastelanders build an entire narrative show — no pre-prepared characters, story or dialogue. Just a shattered world, the people scrabbling around in it, and whatever bizarre artefact you’ve decided deserves to outlive civilisation.

Expect raiders, mutants and violence over scarce resources in an absurd dark comedy inspired by classics of the genre such as Mad Max, The Last of Us and Fallout. Expect flashbacks, dodgy accents and the occasional character death that nobody saw coming. Least of all us.

Where we came from

The show was born out of the Unscripted Players programme at the Bristol Improv Theatre, which lets members of the city’s amateur improv community direct, cast and stage their own show ideas. What started as a one-off experiment has grown into a regular fixture of the Bristol scene — from the Bristol Folk House to the Loco Klub under Temple Meads — and in 2026 we returned to the Camden Fringe for a third year running, with three nights at the Hen & Chickens Theatre.

We also like a themed night: our Pride Special celebrated the colourful, chaotic and wonderfully diverse communities that thrive after the end of the world, with all profits going to Bristol Pride.

The core cast have now been performing together for several years. We spend a lot of rehearsal time laughing at each other, and we like to think that shows.
