live improvised comedy show where Montreal's top improvisers transform your Instagram posts into comedic magic.
Our show is a natural extension of the workshop. A regular rotation of some of Montreal’s most talented improvisers always perform, including Sandi Armstrong, Alain Mercieca, Heidi Lynne Weeks, Maité Sinave, Mariana Vial, Adalia Pemberton, Solly Krygier-Paine, Kristina Guevarra, Mason Persaud, Shanthony Exum, Nicky Fournier and Jeremy Lewis . On top of having seasoned improvisers, we also have the new birds that walk in for the first time and steal the show. You could just literally show up and get thrown in the fire of a live show with no script! It has led to many amazing walk-in, home run hitters and creates an awesome “anything can happen” spirit, which is the backbone to improv.
Always entertaining, Sunday Night Improv promises a good time for audiences who are welcome to contribute to the show through their suggestions and voting.
THE KINGDOM KIDS are a trio of experienced improvisers who perform and teach in Burlington, VT, and at theaters and festivals from San Diego to New York, Montréal to Miami.
The three grew up in rural Vermont, where they hung out in places like gravel pits, drugstore parking lots, and decrepit movie theaters.
In this high-energy show, the team asks audience members where they hung out as teenagers (and what kind of trouble they got up to there).
Then, the Kingdom Kids use these stories as inspiration for an entirely improvised, freewheeling and wildly entertaining comedy show.
With a shared sense of humor that is smart, sarcastic and silly, The Kingdom Kids put on an unpredictable show that is enjoyable for any audience. Don’t miss it!
