The 26th Vancouver Improv Festival celebrates the best in spontaneous theatre from near and far! Join us for never-to-be-seen-again performances and improv workshops with world-class instructors. This year's festival lineup includes performers from across North America and Europe.One of our headliners is a duo from the largest improv theatre in Scandinavia and one of Europe’s busiest, Norway’s Det Andre Teatret (The Other Theatre). In Flashback, improvisers Mats Eldøen and Kristine Grændsen tinker with time travel: They start by telling a fairly straightforward story but at any moment can be sent back in time. Can they make the leap and still make it all make sense? UK’s Derek’s Mojo are swapping the proverbial British stiff upper lip for a slew of Questionable Behavior. Two veteran improvisers, the Comedy Store Players regular Monica Gaga and stage and screen veteran Jodyanne Fletcher Richardson, promise to deliver an evening of exploded truths, twisted tropes, taboos and other unmentionables.With the popularity of true crime documentaries and podcasts, is it any wonder the genre has migrated to improv as well? Upfront Theatre from Bellingham, Washington is performing Hellingham, a murder mystery to catch a local killer; Portland Oregon’s Nancy Boys step into the shoes of 1920’s crime-fighting darlings in a their parody of The Hardy Boys; and Vancouver’s Tightrope Theatre gives a nod to another beloved bygone mystery program in Murder She Improvised. Check out these shows and much much more!

The Vancouver Improv Festival is a celebration of local, national and international improv theatre and comedy.

“a whimsical, mesmerising journey” ★★★★ - Edmonton JournalImmerse yourself in the mysterious world of Romanian folklore sprung from the mind of award-winning Romanian performer and playwright Cristina Tudor in this love letter to her Grandparshows nts and her culture.Lia &amp; Dor interweaves a whimsical Romanian fairy tale with a surprising and salacious family history. Come on the journey as she explores the memories of family, the meaning of homeland, and the fables we tell each other about ourselves and the past.There is a word in Romanian which has no English equivalent. Dor. It means something like longing. It encompasses melancholy, joy and hope. A feeling that drives you to take a new journey, fall in love, come back home. You know this feeling, we all do.In a Romania that both is and isn’t today, a girl is compelled by Dor to take a journey. What she enters is a fairy tale that challenges her to face her family’s past and draw strength from her cultural traditions to trace a path into her future.

Immerse yourself in the mysterious world of Romanian folklore with this award-winning work from Cristina Tudor.

British Columbia is home to some beautiful places to ski, and a lesser-known contender was just ranked as one of the top ski resorts in the country. Big White Ski Resort was ranked as the fourth best place to ski in Canada by the Condé Nast Traveller UK Readers’ Choice Awards. The rankings were calculated from votes from over 125,000 Condé Nast Traveller readers in the UK, who shared their global travel experiences. Sitting just under an hour’s drive away from Kelowna, the Big White Ski Resort has welcomed visitors since 1963 with stunning snow-capped mountains and perfect ski conditions. The family-owned and operated spot offers ski-in ski-out accommodations and over 2,765 acres of skiable terrain for skiers and snowboarders of all experience levels. Winter sports enthusiasts can enjoy the diverse ski terrain day and night, as the resort boasts the largest night skiing area in Western Canada. This truly is the ideal place for the 2024/2025 ski season. “As a family-owned and operated resort, this recognition is a testament to the dedication of our team and the unforgettable experiences we strive to create,” said Michael J. Ballingall, Senior Vice President of Big White Ski Resort. “We’re especially grateful to our guests, whose passion for exploring our world-renowned Okanagan Champagne Powder helped make this possible.” Big White Ski Resort joins the likes of Whistler and Banff as one of the top 15 ski resorts in North America. This year’s ski season at Big White Ski Resort begins on November 28, and early bird season passes are available until October 20. Will you be checking out Big White Ski Resort this season?
