Join us for our 3rd year of The Heat - An International Improv Comedy Showcase hosted by The Improv Centre on Granville Island in beautiful Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. This 5-day festival will celebrate a myriad of talent from across the globe and YOU could be part of it! Two international teams will perform short form improv in the first half of each show, showcasing their unique team dynamics, followed by an all-play second half or a 35 minute International team showcase! Teams will continue to mix and mingle throughout the week until we create a closing night LOL-apalooza! Participate in workshops, activities and jams, meet fellow performers and improv-enthusiasts from around the world and revel in the joy of yes, and! We want to see what you've got! So...will YOU bring THE HEAT?
