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.
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.
The harold is a legendary improv format. With a single suggestion as their compass – whether it's a word, a phrase, or even a quirky question from the audience – our talented improvisers will craft a tapestry of scenes, games, and monologues that will have you gasping for air between fits of laughter.
Designed and developed by the National Improv League (LNI) in 1977, the improv match has been at the heart of bringing improv matches to life—sparking the rise of spontaneous theatre across Quebec. Today, it remains the most popular format among the countless leagues in the province, played as much in elementary school as in bars, constantly evolving with every new performer and every audience.
Join us for a hands-on workshop that dives into the unique challenges and dynamics of the improv match. You’ll get a behind-the-scenes look at how it works—and a deeper appreciation for the artistry that drives it. To top it off, the workshop will be followed by a live match, showcasing some great talents from the English and French scenes of Montreal!
