Toronto’s classiest improv comedy show is going to be more exciting and hilarious than ever when special guest star, Canadian sensation Scott Thompson joins Second City Alumnus, Matt Baram (CityTV’s Seed), Second City Alumna Naomi Snieckus (CBC’S Mr. D), Christy Bruce (Blind Date) and professional British man Chris Gibbs for an evening of improv comedy that will never ever be reproduced!
And that’s not all! Cleopatra Williams will join us for some songs!
And! With two‐time Dora Award winner Waylen Miki making the music how could it not be an amazing night?!
So slip yourself into a tux (optional), grab a gown and head down to the snazziest night of improv you’re likely to be invited to this month!
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 (He’s back!) Maestro Fresh Wes, ‘Puppets Who Kill’ creator Jon Pattison, and many more.
Some History...
The show began at the Bread and Circus Theatre in Kensington Market in 2009, playing every week for several years to packed and excited houses. While the show has had many temporary homes since; playing at the Second City, the Toronto Fringe, and even the 2012 Impro Festival in Berlin, Germany, the Drake is the show’s first permanent home since the closing of the Bread and Circus in 2012.
