By: Grace Cutler Jul. 05, 2022
Rapid Fire Theatre (RFT) will present the 2022 IMPROVAGANZA FESTIVAL from July 13-23! IMPROVAGANZA is Edmonton's international improv and sketch comedy festival featuring improvisers from across Canada and North America! For 10 days this July, RFT will host some of the best comedy acts we can find. This year we're delighted to welcome Ann Pornel the Host of the Great Canadian Baking Show on July 22 to headline the festival!
"The return of IMPROVAGANZA is a celebration of audiences and performers creating live experiences in a room together. This line-up of hilarious performers have been making us laugh from afar and through our screens for years. That includes binge-watching Ann Pornel on the Great Canadian Baking Show, going on a YouTube deep-dive of all the Characters Welcome videos, and streaming every episode of Let's Make A Sci-Fi. It's an absolute treat to be able to bring these groups to Edmonton so that we can share these laughs live and in person!" - Artistic Director Matt Schuurman.
IMPROVAGANZA attendees can expect to be thoroughly entertained with affordable, high-energy improvisation and comedy! The festival will also provide participants with the opportunity to take workshops with international guests and engage in fun social events.
The festival begins with the Opening Night Party featuring Tasty On July 13th at 8 pm!
