Oct 15 - What Happened Last Night…

‘Twas Night #2

7pm

Montreal Improv opened the festivities with their second staging of “Epic Fantasy”. This time out it was a lowly cheese-maker who ended the religious war between the witches who burned other witches and the followers of Hydrax the Many-Headed.

The second half featured Ottawa’s Insensitivity Training performing short-form games, including a few home-brewed goodies. Their set included gibberish storytelling, a lonely giant with slow legs and making friends with a volcano.

9pm

Show 2 of Night 2 got started by The Gorilla Show, a mix of improvisers from various troupes, both local and out-of-town, directing scenes to win the love of a gorilla. We saw a soap opera set in space, a musical about geriatrics and the sitcom “Superhero Mom”.

The evening closed with The Bitter End launching their new format, an improvised play in a specific genre. This night showcased a “Period Piece” featuring an elderly lord, a young lady betrothed, a frustrated author and an ill-fated pair of pub hooligans.
