Thu, Feb. 9, 8pm —  The Brat Makes a Scene

The Brat is back! After a holiday spent throwing tantrums, hissy fits, and generally getting their way, enfants terribles Bryan Walsh and Pat Dussault return to the Montreal Improv Theatre for another night of interconnected, completely improvised stories about the events, people, and experiences that make up the crazy, magnificent bastard that is our existence.

And this time, they brought friends! Bright-eyed, up-and-coming improvisers Ally Caruso, Hillary Dale, Vance Gillis, Kevin Shustak, and Josh Budman.

In other words, this show’s gonna be the balls. 

$8 or $5 with a 5-show pass.

Fri, Feb. 10, 8pm —  Smackdown - Competitive Improv

The Friday main event.  2 teams compete for the audience’s favour and the Smackdown trophy. Fodor’s says, “Their Friday night Smackdowns, where the audience determines the winner, are definitely good for a laugh.”  $8 or $5 with a pass.

Fri, Feb. 10, 10pm — The Late Show Movie Night: Star Wars Uncut

In 2009, thousands of Internet users were asked to remake “Star Wars: A New Hope” into a fan film, 15 seconds at a time. Contributors were allowed to recreate scenes from Star Wars however they wanted. Within just a few months SWU grew into a wild success. The creativity that poured into the project was unimaginable.

SWU has been featured in documentaries, news features and conferences around the world for its unique appeal. In 2010 they won a Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Creative Achievement In Interactive Media.

It’s pay what you can.
