Insensitivity Training is proud to present the 2010 edition of the Ottawa Improv Festival (www.ottawaimprovfestival.ca) March 11th to the 14th. That’s this week! The Ottawa Improv scene is growing fast with over a dozen shows monthly and it’s time to celebrate this re-birth! Both in French and English, even in both, local troupes are seeing stages and making audience laugh all over the city.
The festival will be welcoming WDWMKR and Sex T-Rex from Toronto, Montreal Improv and Uncalled For… from Montreal and local troupes Crystal Basement, LIEU (Ligue d’improvisation étudiante universitaire), Insensitivity Training and NEW special guests: MSG.
Every night consists of performer showcases at 8pm where featured troupes take the stage to show you their stuff (and by stuff, we mean their rock collections) followed by specialty shows at 10pm like Danger-prov…which is exactly what it sounds like, watch improvisors tackle challenges like guessing between tabasco and ketchup in the middle of scene, or playing with other elements of danger. If you like laughing at people in unfortunate situations, this show is for you.
The festival kicks off Thursday March 11th , 8pm at University of Ottawas Agora with a FREE french hockey-rink style match. All other shows are held at Club Saw (67 Nicholas St.) ad Yuk Yuk’s Ottawa (292 Elgin St.), $5 cover.
