In 1926 the Brislington Players were formed by the Canon Sydney R Worters vicar of the Parish of St Luke's Church, Brislington, Bristol.
The club was formed into two sections 'one to produce an inexpensive spoken word production and the other a more lavish musical work'.
The first musical was 'The King of Sherwood' which cost furteen pounds in productions costs and the subscription to membership of the Club was two shillings.
The Club happily produced an annual musical at the Brislington Church Hall with a measure of success and in 1933 was expanded by the integration of members of the 'Times and Mirror Children's Corner Comedy Club' which had resided at the Prince's Theatre but had unfortunately ceased activities.
The Club took on a 'new look' and started the production of quite modern shows such as 'The Quaker Girl', 'Princess Charming' and 'The Girl Friend'. These shows played to capacity audiences and due to demand the Club was forced to seek a new venue. It was in 1938 that the club staged 'Mr Cinders' at the Victoria Rooms and in March 1939 the name was changed to BRISTOL MUSICAL COMEDY CLUB!!
The club was reformed after the war where the club went from strength to strength producing 'No No Nanette', 'Hit the Deck' and 'Tulip Time' at the Empire Theatre.
In 1955 the club was the first amateur group to take over the City's largest theatre with a production of 'Wild Violets' at the Bristol Hippodrome. This was followed by 'Oklahoma' and the Bristol Amateur Premieres including 'Annie Get Your Gun' and 'Carousel'.
Over the years the club has also produced several other local or regional premieres including 'Into The Woods' and 'Spend Spend Spend' and in 1994 was the first club in the country to stage an amateur production of 'A Chorus Line'.
During the late 1990's, the club completed a six year run of shows at another of the city's great theatres, the Theatre Royal. Producing such shows as 'Seven Brides for Seven Brothers', 'The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas', 'Funny Girl', 'Singing in the Rain' and 'Oliver' which received a NODA award for Excellence.
Throughout it's history, the Club has won many awards and nominations including the Evening Post Rose Bowl Award for Best Musical in 1993 for its production of 'The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas.
