Toronto: Bad Dog Theatre and Sex T-Rex present Blockbuster Week March 24-31

Wednesday, March 1, 2023

Bad Dog Comedy Theatre and Sex T-Rex are thrilled to announce the return of Blockbuster Week from March 24 to 31, 2023 - a festival of improvised comedies celebrating movies and television in a live, unscripted setting.

Some of the best improvisers in Toronto perform hilarious and irreverent takes on film and television genres, popular hits, and cult classics. The line-up includes such titles as Bridgerton Improvised, Once Upon a Time in Bollywood, Rush Hour 4, Porno: The Musical, and Chorelord (inspired by the British game show Taskmaster).

Blockbuster Week returns for the first time since 2018, and celebrates a triumphant homecoming to Bad Dog Theatre’s former home at 875 Bloor Street West. The company was forced to vacate the space during the pandemic, and looks forward to filling the space with laughter once again.
