  • An introduction to the Improv Match

    1454 rue Atateken 1454 rue Atateken, Montreal, Canada

    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!
