THEATRESPORTS

Theatresports started in Edmonton in 1981 – that’s before you were born, youngin! This unpredictable improv show is a staple of Edmonton’s comedy scene, and runs throughout the year at The Varscona Theatre (10329-83 Avenue) at 11pm on Fridays. Theatresports, a competitive improv format was created by Keith Johnstone of Calgary with the goal of bringing the energy of a sports match into the theatre. This improv phenomenon has grown exponentially, and today Theatresports is performed throughout the world. Come on down this Friday and see what all the fuss is about!

CHiMPROV

CHiMPROV is Rapid Fire Theatre’s longform improv comedy show. You might see an improvised one act play, or a montage of scenes based on a theme, or a non-linear exploration of one character’s life. Whatever it is, it will be artful and likely very funny. Many people ask why the show is called CHiMPROV? Think about apes doing improv. Isn’t that reason enough?

THEATRESPORTS NORTH

Theatresports NORTH, which opened October 2011, is the youngest member of our family of shows. Happening the first Thursday of the month at Avenue Theatre (9030-118 Avenue), Theatresports NORTH offers up all the same energy and personality of our regular Friday night Theatresports show, but in an earlier time-slot, for those of you with “jobs”. Theatresports NORTH aims to engage a new, northside audience, because we believe that you should be able to laugh, no matter where in Edmonton you live!
