Improv Double Feature
Richmond Improv Theatre Society presents: Improv Double Feature!
Are you ready for an evening of comedy so hilarious that it’ll knock your socks off? Buckle up and join us for a thrilling night of improv where anything can happen!
First up, get ready to unleash your giggles with Richmond Improv Theatre Society’s very own No Mortgage!
If you thought your real estate agent’s puns were bad, wait until you see these local improv wizards work their magic in STRATA-STROPHE.
In their unique set, they’ll be navigating the wacky world of Strata meetings, ridiculous building complaints, and the eternal battle of “whose garbage is that?”. From comically contentious council meetings to absurdly complex bylaws, their on-the-spot set will explore the hilarious side of Metro Vancouver Strata living that you never knew existed. Expect hilariously exaggerated scenarios and questionable real estate-related jabs to make you appreciate your home’s lack of amenities!
Then, brace yourself for the hilarity of special guest Fistful of Kicks!
Dive headfirst into the seedy underworld of triads, violence, and all the dumplings you can eat in FISTFUL OF CRIME! In this one-of-a-kind improv show, you'll experience the hallmark gangster cinema from 80s and 90s Hong Kong, reimagined and remixed on-the-spot by Vancouver's premiere East-Asian improv group, Fistful of Kicks.
Their show is equal parts drama and comedy, exploring characters caught between the criminal world and polite society, stretched thin between their gang allegiances and their family bonds. All created entirely on the spot based on a single word from the audience! If you're a seasoned HK cinema aficionado, or have no idea what any of those words you just read meant, you'll have a killer time at this show.
