Main Character Energy
A tour de force of comedy, drama and flamboyance
A high camp cocktail of comedy and cabaret, written & performed by Temi Wilkey.
A beautiful and supremely talented black actress is putting on an outrageously hilarious, autobiographical one-woman show to finally take up the space she’s been so routinely denied.
It’s your privilege, your honour and your pre-eminent pleasure to give her all the attention she deserves.
After a critically acclaimed run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2024 at Paines Plough’s Roundabout, and a sold-out run at Soho Theatre in Spring 2025, this cult phenomenon is coming to take Bristol by storm!
An uplifting, life -affirming celebration of the authentic self
Nothing short of a five-star triumph
Black Out Night – Thu 9 Oct
Bristol Old Vic platforms often historically hidden stories and lived experiences. This is intentional as we seek to develop work that serves all of Bristol's communities and build audiences that fully reflect the diversity of the city.
As part of this work, we're hosting a Black Out Night on Thu 9 October. This performance is for people who identify as being part of the Black racial or cultural community, including those connected to Black heritage, culture, or experiences, whether by ancestry, lived experience, or personal identification. There will also be a post-show discussion led by award-winning performance artist, theatre maker and writer Travis Alabanza.
While no one will be refused entry we hope you will help us create an evening which serves this aim.
