The Club Soda Improv Show

Club Soda Improv—The Asper Centre for Theatre & Film (U of W)

These folks are always a highlight of the Fringe for me. As always improv represents a variable and unpredictable format for a show, and thus rather difficult to review, with the quality of the show being more of a range than anything else. But over the years of watching them perform, it’s extremely clear that they’re just really good at what they do.

Replacing last year’s theme of a manic director with a more accessible format of a loosely connected hour long improv session structured with improv games was a good decision, if only to keep things fresh for repeat viewers. Always worth a watch, especially for any fans of improv as a genre.
