Nasty Women
Nasty Women is an improv and sketch group consisting of some of Vancouver’s top comedians. The ladies’ unique voices blend together beautifully to make a fresh, dynamic show that will leave you feeling charged up and ready to take on the world! The Nasties are performing in the 2017 Del Close Marathon in New York City and can be regularly seen at their new show at the Biltmore Cabaret.
Festival Ensemble "Echo"
The International Ensembles are an opportunity for individual improvisers the world over to spend a week workshopping new and new-to-them improv forms. Dozens of performers apply for a handful of spots and work with guest directors to create evening performances live for you, our audience.
The International Ensembles are groups of people who will likely never all work together again. In some cases, you’d have to travel pretty far to see any of them on their home turf. Now you can enjoy all of them, on one stage, at one time, without even leaving your seat.
9:30 SHOW
Those Guys
Those Guys are the powerhouse improv duo comprised of Andrew & Alex. They have been improvising for 10 years and friends for 20. Their witty social commentary is balanced with pop culture references and hilarious improvised songs told in a long form narrative format, with an emphasis on grounded characters. They are CAGEMATCH and Vancouver Improv Fight Club champions! Those Guys have been climbing the Vancouver improv ranks at an alarming rate, and are excited to take on the international improv scene by storm again!
IMPROVISERS!
We all wear different masks. Some we create by ourselves and others are created for us, whether we like it or not. With a diverse cast of improvisers, The Improvisers will delve into the characters behind each mask and explore the rich lives of those who wear them.
The VIIF is super excited to have this cool show with invited POC improvisers from all over. The show is directed by Vancouver’s very own Ese Atawo. Join the fun as these fantastic improvisers hit the stage.
Chad Mallett
Chad Mallett is an improvised buddy comedy about two best friends on vacation and the parade of oddballs, assholes and idiots they meet along the way.
Featuring the amazing worldwide sensations: Matt Folliott and Ted Hallett
