We run classes & do shows

Improv Theatre (IT) is a group of improvisational performers and teachers based in the Lower Mainland, British Columbia. We have a combined experience of more than 50 years performing, teaching and building community with improvised theatre/comedy at the heart of what we do.

​

Put simply, improv is a theatrical artform where performers do not use a script. Many describe improv as “making things up on the spot”;  however, it’s not quite that simple! Improv is about supporting your fellow performers,  connecting with the audience, looking inward, trust, and of course, it’s about saying “yes”.

Improv Theatre's team (made up of Russ, Graham & Mikaela) are also mainstage members of Very Very Improv. Some of the shows listed below are organized through their website.

Holiday Fishbowl Challenge
Fri, Dec 27 & Sat, Dec 28 at The Bez Arts Hub

Two teams go head-to-head in this holiday-themed improvised competition where every game is the luck of the draw! Each round the audience votes for their favourite scene in this seasonal smackdown.

Monthly Mainstage Shows with Very Very Improv
Various dates at The Bez Arts Hub

Every month, the talented cast of loveable improvisers from across the Lower Mainland takes to the stage at The Bez Arts Hub in Langley for a very fun evening full of comedy improv games, scenes, and surprises. 


The Georgia Straight calls Very Very Improv “city-quality comedy talent in the ‘burbs”, and audiences agree. “Very Very Improv is a blast every single time! Each show I’ve attended has been a hoot!” Join the fun! You’ll laugh lots.
