“Every year at Ottawa Fringe I make sure to check out Grimprov at least once.” – Matthew Champ, On Stage Ottawa (2014)

“You got to hand it to these guys: GRIMprov knows their improv.”– Brianna McFarlane From The New Ottawa Critics (2014)

“Grimprov has the improvisational chops to let you have some fun and see something completely different whatever it might be.” – Jim Murchison, The Charlebois Post (2013)

The Show must go on!…digitally?

The COVID-19 situation continues to evolve and well…you know. You’re at home reading this. So we will not be performing out regularly scheduled show.  So no shows this month (or next month probably) so we have to resort to Re-Runs. We went back to the improv vault (yes, we have one, it’s named Goggle Drive) And found this gem. On April 29th 2015, we recorded a Cop-Out mixed with our Elemental improv game.

The fun all starts some time after 8pm So feel free to tune in at tonight March 25th. On facebook live. https://www.facebook.com/grimprov/  

 We remind you that we take no responsibility for the topics, themes, and words we said that one time in the past when that we recorded it for comedy. Viewer Discretion Advised.

The TALK

GRIMprov Welcomes you to take part in yet another experiment! This is our 3rd round of “The TALK.” No not about Sex… or maybe if that’s what… anyways! We will be improvising some Ted-Styled talks for the enjoyment of the audience! The only catch is our experts have no idea what they are talking about and the other performers prepared their slides for them! Come on down (we will be there!) money for the bar, and your suggestions! It is Improv Comedy so we need your shouting!

February 26th 2020. 8pm At the Office Restopub 202 Sparks st. Ottawa ON.
