Elections, mass demonstrations, climate change, impeachment scandals and perennial Vancouver favourite – ‘affordable housing’ dominated the news headlines in 2019. Bid farewell to all that doom and gloom as Vancouver TheatreSports’™ 2019 Year in Review takes an improvised look at these top stories and adds a much-needed comedic perspective as we prepare for the coming year.
Our improvisers may also look behind the scenes of actual (though stranger than anything we could make up), hilarious headlines such as: ‘Bridesmaid dons T. Rex costume for sister’s wedding’ , ‘Woman hospitalized after posing with octopus on her face, ‘Police stop McDonald’s from selling milkshakes near Nigel Farage rally,’ or this stunning story – ‘ Man Fashions Fabulously Tiny Hats for Toad Who Visits His Porch Every Day.’
No news story, no matter how improbable, is safe from ridicule and as always, the scenarios will be based on audience suggestions – challenging our quick-witted improvisers to create instant, unscripted comedy. While much of 2019 was no laughing matter, our cast will have you crying tears of joy at their in-the-moment reinterpretations of the news-that-was, and you’ll leave the theatre feeling lighter and happier.
Regular 2019 Year in Review performances run from Thursday, December 26 through Monday, December 30, with a special set of New Year’s Eve performances on Tuesday, December 31. Book your tickets for the 11:15 p.m. show on December 31 and enjoy party favours and a complimentary glass of bubbly as we welcome all the hilarity 2020 is sure to offer.
It’s also a great way to celebrate with friends – special discounts are available for groups of 10 or more.
