Sketch and improv group Up The Antics describe themselves as “a group of miscreants, vagabonds and rebellious spirits from Bristol”.
They are: Luke Mallison, Scott Wilson, Ros Beeson, Vicky Cansfield, Amy Young, Beth Kerridge, Conor Bailey, Oscar Stretton, and Waqar Munir.
The group has been performing together for a decade, taking their brand of improv and sketch to the Edinburgh Fringe three times, as well as featuring at comedy festivals and nights around the country.

Their cited comedic influences include That Mitchell and Webb Look, Big Train, Fry and Laurie and Smack the Pony.
Now, Up The Antics are set to showcase Locomotive, their own brand new sketch comedy pilot.
Born of new ideas, material made in lockdown, as well as content collated from their years of making and performing sketches, the pilot will be screened on Feburary 27 at The Bristol Improv Theatre, a much-loved venue where the collective cut their comedy teeth in the monthly sell-out shows that built them a loyal following.
Supporting on the night will be local improv team Last Day on Earth.
Locomotive is at The Bristol Improv Theatre on February 27 at 8pm. Tickets are available from www.improvtheatre.co.uk.
