Vancouver Theatresports

Vancouver

The city's most popular improv group stages energetic romps – sometimes connected to themes like Tinder dating – at this purpose-built theater. Whatever the theme, the approach is the same: if you're sitting at one of the tables near the front, expect to be picked on. The late-night (11:15pm) shows are commendably ribald and probably not something to bring your parents to.

If you fancy your skills as a performer, try not to rush the stage; Theatresports offers regular drop-in Saturday-afternoon workshops ($20) for those keen to give improv a try – you'll likely find out it's much harder than it looks.
