In this workshop, we’ll look at how you, as a single performer can better support your scene partners. We’ll identify what makes a good team player in improv, and revisit some foundational improv skills that help us to support everyone on stage.
We’ll also practice specific support moves that you can deploy as needed in scenes, or from the sidelines/backline.
YOUR HOST
Claire Biddiscombe
Journey back in time to the late 16th century, a time rich with heroes, villains, lovers, and magical beings.
In this workshop we'll explore Shakespeare’s world through a variety of exercises that introduce us to his language, characters, and landscapes. We will explore tools such as asides and soliloquies using them as a means to make discoveries and further our scene work.
Come join me for a unique opportunity to expand your imagination.
YOUR HOST
Monika Schneider
Join us for a unique bilingual French/English improv experience led by Impro Sierra. This interactive workshop will blend both languages, with explanations and feedback delivered in French and English throughout the session.
Each scene will begin with a suggestion in either French or English, and the entire scene continues in that initial language. We'll dive deep into character creation techniques, helping you expand and diversify your character repertoire.
YOUR HOST

Indie Night is a platform to showcase experimental improv sets; folks are trying out new formats and styles, and you'll see duos, large groups and everything in between. Grab your tickets for an evening of experimental comedy!
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.
LAST CALL is an hour of improv comedy inspired by true stories and performed by some of the very best comedic talent in the city! Introducing the ARMANDO format!
Grab a drink (or tea!) at the bar and close out your night with some laughs!
