About Bristol Spotlights
Thirsty is a bombastic, in-yer-face comedy by Bristol Spotlights, a student and youth company, performed at Willow Studio. A twink is dying with one final wish — to fall in love with a woman. The problem: there are no straight ones around. The show follows four queer eccentrics who become entangled in each other's sex lives, falling into absurd comic sequences and huge farcical set pieces. Every performer plays every character, meaning no two shows are ever the same. Running 50 minutes and strictly for adults aged 18 and up, the show contains audience participation, scenes of a sexual nature and strong language.
Why see this show?
Shape-shifting queer farce where every cast member plays every role, making each performance genuinely unique. Fast, absurdist and deliberately unruly — great for audiences who want their comedy with an edge.
