About Bristol Spotlights
God Complex is a 50-minute comedy and new writing theatre show at Annexe, part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2026, performed by Bristol Spotlights. Five Olympian Gods discover that no one believes in them anymore and must grapple with existential dread, dysfunctional relationships and much-needed family therapy. Bridging noughties nostalgia and Greek mythology in a sit-com style, the show confirms that sleeping with your flatmates is messy — especially when they're family. Written and directed by Felix Glanville and Leah Pollard. Tickets are £12.50, with a concession price of £10.50, suitable for ages 14 and over.
Why see this show?
Reimagining the Olympian gods as dysfunctional flatmates navigating existential dread is a premise with real comic potential, and the sit-com frame gives it a lively, accessible shape. The blend of noughties nostalgia and Greek mythology keeps it fresh rather than simply parodic.
