The Smallest Stupid Improv Show

The Improv Company—Alloway Hall – Manitoba Museum

Can improv be done as a one-man show? Stephen Sim is here to test that theory with his smaller version of the Big Stupid Improv show. A veteran of the improv scene, Sim’s years of experience flourish here as he seamlessly plays all the parts himself while putting together the entire show with no help. It’s hard to believe it’s not a scripted show with Sim never missing a beat through this tight 45 minute show. The improv itself was great but the show did lack the frantic energy improv shows normally have. The energy is usually due to the various actors having to figure it out together on the spot. The energy wasn’t as high as I would have liked but I still found myself laughing lots. A neat concept explored by a very talented improviser.
