Very Very Improv Theatre
Very Very Improv Theatre, a new, professional improv comedy company based in the Fraser Valley, is set to produce a series of monthly performances at CoWork Chilliwack Studio starting October 7th as part of its inaugural season.
The COVID-19 pandemic slashed audience attendance at live theatre events across Metro Vancouver, yet the company’s managing artistic director, Langley resident Scott Campbell, sees the potential in the suburbs. “The pandemic triggered a migration of families from Vancouver to surrounding communities - families who still want the arts and culture experiences available in the big city.”
Campbell is a founding member of the long-running Panic Squad Improv Comedy and alumnus of Vancouver TheatreSports. He is leading a company of talented improvisers from across the lower mainland including his former Panic Squad teammate and Chilliwack-based comedian Cliff Prang.
“We’re working to establish a professional improv company in the Fraser Valley and add to the entertainment options here in Chilliwack," says Prang. “We know there are a lot of people in the suburbs who love watching great improv live but don’t want to drive into Vancouver. We’re filling that gap and having a ton of fun in the process.”
Prang isn’t the only Chilliwack-based cast member. Chilliwack’s Steven Krajnyak and Josh Wilson will also be featured at the CoWork Studio on October 7th.
In addition to monthly performances at Chilliwack CoWork’s Studio space on the first Saturday of the month, Very Very Improv is offering a full season of improv shows at The Bez Arts Hub in Langley starting September. Monthly Mainstage on the last Saturday of each month, Holiday Fishbowl Challenge December 28, 29 and 30, 2023, and Very Very Valentines February 16 and 17, 2024. The company will also be featured at Abbotsford’s Gallery7 Theatre’s annual comedy festival in April 2024. The company is also available to book for private events.
Tickets for all performances are on sale now and available online at veryveryimporv.ca/tickets
