Step into a night of bold new beginnings at Apples & Pears, Owl on the Roof’s scratch night celebrating fresh and playful performances.
Every edition brings a hand-picked mix of short pieces – some funny, some moving, some wonderfully unpredictable – all at different stages of development. You might catch a scene from a brand-new play, a stand-up set still finding its feet, a character monologue with heart, or something that refuses to fit any box at all. It’s your chance to see raw, original work before it grows into whatever it’s destined to become.
If you love discovering new voices and getting close to the creative process, Apples & Pears is a fun night full of curiosity, connection and community spirit. Come support local artists, share a drink from the bar, and be part of Bristol’s vibrant live-performance family.
