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.

There are three guarantees in life.

1. Death
2. Taxes
3. An improv show every Thursday at Theatre VME

Whether rain, snow, holiday or orgy, you can bet your rear that The Every Thursday Improv show will be live and in living color!
Watch as we invite some of our brightest and burgeoning players on stage for sixty minutes of improvised comedy.
The only thing that ain’t for sure? What we plan on doing! Each week, the formats, concepts and plans change.

Oh hell yeah.

This is not a hero’s journey. There are no personal quests. Come explore what may be when authentic characters are developed on stage and tales are woven from what we discover in the moment.

There are sketch shows and there is NIGHT SLIME! Join us for a night full of laffs and wild weirdness at Theatre VME / Mile End Improv.

10 - 12 funny people get together a few times during the week to write and rehearse a full hour of sketch comedy. It's a wild night out at Theatre VME, your home for killer comedy in Montreal's Mile End, so grab your friends and come enjoy a night of laughter like absolutely nothing else in the city!
