After a two year hiatus, The National Theatre of the World, multiple Canadian Comedy Award Winners for Best Improv Troupe, bring back their beloved improv variety spectacular,
‘The Carnegie Hall Show!’
Wednesday, April 30, 8pm at the Drake Hotel Underground , Toronto; Second City Alumnus, Matt Baram (CityTV’s Seed), Second City Alumna, Naomi Snieckus (CBC’s Mr. D.) and professional British man, Chris Gibbs (Winnipeg Comedy Festival) will be getting out the tuxedos and dusting off the evening gowns for the return of Toronto’s classiest evening of improvised comedy. And then! They’ll be doing it again, the last Wednesday of every month for the rest of time.
This month! Our special guests include Mark Little (Picnicface, Mr. D.) and the amazing Brandon Firla (Bravo’s Suits) With special appearance by Kurt Firla (YTV's Scaredy Squirrel)!
The Carnegie Hall Show is an evening of improv and variety. Singers, dancers, acrobats, puppeteers and even the occasional magician surround the improvisation – first, an original format – The Retrospective, an ‘awards-show-style’ look back at the greatest improvised scenes of all time, made up before your eyes! Followed by an improvised old-fashioned radio play, complete with witty dialogue, commercial breaks and occasional emotional breakdowns.
You never know who will be playing at The Carnegie Hall Show! Past guests include Colin Mochrie, Scott Thompson, Maestro Fresh Wes, ‘Puppets Who Kill’ creator Jon Pattison, and many more.
