The Crick Crack Club is something special

A YOUNGER THEATRE

Every month, we bring our wild haven of fairytale, myth and epic to the awesome red velvet surroundings of Bristol’s finest independent cinema, theatre and place of happenings – The Cube Microplex. THE place in Bristol for unusual events, performance art, spoken word and live storytelling for grown-ups, it is our Bristol home.

DOWNRIGHT RUDE!

21 May 2026, 8PM
Four Crick Crack Club storytellers take to the stage for a night of gloriously rude folk and fairytales. This no-holds-barred evening of innuendo and bawdiness will peep beneath the petticoats of flirtation, and raise a suggestive eyebrow at forbidden love.

We create exuberant, intelligent, wild, weird and wonderful live storytelling events in Bristol. If you’re a thinker, a seeker, or a dreamer, and you have an imagination that you like to feed, then this is for you.

The Crick Crack Club is the UK’s busiest and boldest programmer of live performance storytelling. We present shows that are inspired by or which reinterpet the stunning content of international fairytale, folktale, myth and epic for contemporay audiences. These are storytelling shows that deal with the juicy, messy and confusing business of being a human being.

Join us for fairytales for grown-ups, urban legend, hardcore myth, and everything in between. Expect a magical, alternative night out in Bristol.

Not only does the Crick Crack Club host monthly sell-out storytelling shows at The Cube, but we’ve also been known to bring our enormous tented theatre to Bristol College Green for the Fabularium Fairytale Festival.

Our fairytales for grown-ups are suitable for adults (teens aged 14+ or 16+), but you can find specific recommendations on each show listing.
