  • Musical Improv Level 1

    Over 6 sessions, Musical Improv Level 1 will introduce you to the world of musical improv through exercises, games, and scene work. We will learn the basics of how to improvise melody and lyrics of a song and how to apply these elements within a scene. We will start to practice creating music within song structures that will make you look like a magician on stage. You will walk away from this course with the initial training necessary for long form musical improv competency which is also the prerequisite to further your study of improvising a full length musical (a.k.a. a musical narrative or long form musical). No grad show.

    Prerequisite: Musical Fun Times and permission from the instructor. Priority spots reserved for students who have most recently completed Musical Fun Times.

    $6 – $320

  • Musical Fun Times

    Musical Fun Times is a great introduction to the art of musical improv, as well as a strong foundation for basic improv comedy and stage performance. For those who are curious about musical improv, who want to give it a try without jumping into performance (…yet?), or for more experienced musical improvisers who want to go back and reinforce the foundations without all the structure and song forms, this class is accessible to all levels and is super fun and free stylin’ – it definitely lives up to its name!

    This course is designed for anyone who wants to begin their musical improv journey, gaining practice and acquiring skills to sing and create group musical comedy songs and scenes in a no-pressure environment.

    No experience required. No show.

    210$ for full course

    Our workshop is a lively, engaging experience that leads directly into our show. Every Sunday, you can join us to practice scenes and learn about story-based improv, guided by a variety of great teachers. Sunday 4-6, always free.

  • Sunday Night Improv

    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.

  • Polite Mutiny and Friendly Crews

    Get ready for a wild ride of improv as three friendly troupes come together to create a fully fleshed-out narrative right before your eyes!

    But there’s a catch: none of the teams know what’s happening!

    Each troupe will take the stage, starting fresh with an audience suggestion and continuing with only one key piece of information—a summary of what just happened, straight from YOU, the audience!

    Plot twists and turns as the teams build on each other’s ideas, crafting the beginning, middle, and end in real-time. Expect the unexpected, because every moment is a surprise for both the performers and the audience!

    The grand finale? Polite Mutiny—the 2024 Montreal Improv Threepio winners—will take the stage to wrap up this improv extravaganza with their signature flair.

    This is improv like you’ve never seen before, and you won’t want to miss it!
