Events

The M BAR welcomes you to its wonderful space every WEDNESDAY NIGHT

Come for the drop-in workshops from 6pm to 7:30pm where we'll be doing a fun, engaging, and interactive introduction to the skills of improvised comedy through short exercises, group games, and quick scenes.

Stick around for the (alcoholic or non-alcoholic) 'one-drink minimum' improv show afterwards, where you'll get to experience some of the best that Montreal comedy has to offer.

Formats and performers change weekly!

Meet new people, improve certain skills, and share an evening of laughs with us.

See you there!

Mile End Improv’s Fest Of The Fest Presents: Hell Yeah / Fuck No

Have you ever been to an improv show and wished that you could use swears like the "H" word, or even worse, the "F" word?

You have the final say on which scenes continue with a HELL YEAH, and which are thrown into the great comedy trash heap with a FUCK NO.

Winner of Best Solo Show, Best Music Show, runner up for Best Show with Improv at Victoria Fringe, Love, Sharks & Frenching is a one-of-a-kind date that’s got music, comedy, improv & storytelling. Lou’s jazzy-soulful voice weaves hilarious tales with sexy songs to get you frenching like a Montrealer and feeling romantic.

Improv Against Humanity is a Naive Adventure and Montreal Improv co-production mixing the the salacious and vivacious energy of Cards against humanity with improv comedy.

Four audience members will play Cards Against Humanity and the improvisers will use their answers to create scenes for your comedy pleasure. It’s a show that you do not want to miss!

Warning: this show may contain strong language, sexual content and mature themes. Viewer discretion is advised.

Mile End Improv’s “Fest Of The Fest” Presents: Friday Night's Main Event

Eight teams, ALL MEGA-POWERS, will hit the stage for a one night, single elimination tournament to determine who is the Friday Night's Main Event Champion in a full blown, all out Fringe For All Brawl!

Mile End Improv’s “Fest Of The Fest” Presents: Films In Focus

On Saturday, June 8 at 8:30pm, the hit improv comedy show FILMS IN FOCUS returns to Mile End Improv as part of the 2024 Montreal Fringe Festival!

Created by Andy Assaf & Jason Grimmer in 2018, FILMS IN FOCUS has been acclaimed by the Montreal Gazette as "one of the funniest shows in Montreal"

Six seasoned performers improvise 'classic' scenes from completely made up films with titles suggested by the audience only to have their performances savaged by "esteemed" critic, Benji Manking. Action films, horror flicks, rom-coms, cult classics & award-winning festival fare, just because these films don't exist doesn't mean they can't be critiqued.

Winner of Best Solo Show, Best Music Show, runner up for Best Show with Improv at Victoria Fringe, Love, Sharks & Frenching is a one-of-a-kind date that’s part musical and part comedy. Lou’s jazzy-soulful voice weaves hilarious tales with sexy songs to get you frenching like a Montrealer and feeling romantic. Come see Love, Sharks & Frenching: a hot date w/ Lou Laurence at Montreal Fringe!

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.

TONIGHT AT THE M BAR aka "Coolsville"

Shanthony Exum and the Raminets will be singing the hits! Bring your finest Wednesday-wear and dance shoes. We'll be doing the Twist all night 👍
