	The Big Big Improv Show is a 20+ year Fringe tradition! The show assembles your favourite performers in one show! "I think probably the greatest compliment I could say about this show is that they had Colin Mochrie as a guest star, and the highlight was still a local performer." – The Jenny Revue "The format feels like a chaotic, but entertaining channel-surfing session. It's a great way to catch some of the city's top improvisers beyond their respective fringe shows." – Winnipeg Free Press Director: The Midnight Society	Show Info: 60 Mins minutes Genre: Improv Audience: Parental Guidance No warnings	Thu July 16 9:30 PM Fri July 17 7:45 PM Sat July 18 5:00 PM Sun July 19 8:30 PM Tue July 21 7:45 PM Wed July 22 6:00 PM Thu July 23 9:30 PM Fri July 24 7:45 PM Sat July 25 5:00 PM

The Big Big Improv Show

The Probable Cast—PTE – Cherry Karpyshin Mainstage

The name remains very consistently on point for this show.

At almost a dozen improvisers and a rotating cast show to show, their ability to create uniquely expansive improv scenes is second to none. For those unaware, their structure is to have four stories running with a director for each one. After each has a scene, the audience decides which continue, and which one gets culled, scene by scene until only one directors story has the chance to reach a satisfying conclusion. As with all improv, what you get depends on the show, and going on their opening night (having taken over the slot from fools gambit) didn’t give them a lot of time to polish. My showing had an unfortunate amount of dry, directorial direction leading to some issues with time and less space for the improvisers. Regardless, the improv was fantastic, and the show was a ton of fun.
