FEST OF THE FEST presents Friday Night's Main Event at the 2025 St-Ambroise Montreal Fringe Festival! What happens when eight teams take to the stage, not to prop each other, but to smash one another into a fine pulp? The rules and laws of improv are being thrown out the window when Friday Night's Main Event brings you The Fringe For All Brawl! Watch as these mega-powers take to the stage in a one night, single elimination tournament to determine who will raise the championship in the air!

Three teams create a play from scratch, using audience summaries to build the story. The finale? Threeplo winners Polite Mutiny!

Join the House Team before they take their summer break. Chesterfield and Third Date are having their last show before September

Where Improvised versions of existing characters collide!

NOT ANOTHER MUSICAL: The Musical
Presented as part of the Montreal Fringe Festival 2025
Date: Sunday June 8th 5:00 PM & 7:00 PM
Location: Variations Mile End – 5337 Boul. Saint-Laurent #250, Montréal, QC H2T 1S5

What happens when a live band and a cast of fearless improvisers walk onstage with nothing prepared?
You get an entirely original musical — created from scratch, just for you.

NOT ANOTHER MUSICAL: The Musical is one hour of musical mayhem, surprising plot twists, spontaneous songs, and deeply chaotic charm. Every lyric, every character, and every tear-stained ballad is made up on the spot. No script. No safety net. Just pure, unpredictable theatre.

Featuring special guest: HANORAH

Come for the comedy, stay for the feels, leave humming something that didn’t exist an hour ago.

Doors open 30 minutes before each show.
Get there early — it's Fringe, it's intimate, and it will fill up.

Grad Show

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.

Chaque soirée les particiantes découvrent leur équipe et le thème sur place et doivent alors s'unir afin de conquérir vos cœurs!
