FOLLOWING A SOLD-OUT LONDON RUN, COMEDIAN DAVID ELMS BRINGS HIS CULT HIT SHOW DAVID ELMS DESCRIBES A ROOM TO BRISTOL.
It’s a playful collective experience!
David Elms Describes A Room is a one-hour-long improvised show. In the show, veteran improviser David leads the audience through the game of building a room together as a collective. The objects in the room, the stories behind the objects, the person behind the stories. It’s different every time!
The show ran monthly at The Free Association from May 2022 to January 2025 and now travels to venues around the UK and beyond, most recently selling out a 5-night run at Soho Theatre.
“David’s very clever. He’s made a show that’s funny, original and different every time… You go there and bathe in it and try not to be jealous you didn’t think of it.” – Tim Key
“David builds a comedy mind palace before your very eyes. And you’ll want to move in for good!” – Phil Wang
“Imaginative, soothing and gently immersive storytelling – the ASMR of improv” – Rose Matafeo
“Where improv can often feel disposable or incidental, Elms’ rooms are built to last” – Chortle
