Det Andre Teatret (The Other Theatre) is the largest theatre in Scandinavia and one of Europe’s busiest theatres with main focus on improvisational theatre. The award-winning theatre is known for its varied repertoire of scripted and unscripted shows for audiences of all ages. A focus on sincerity, storytelling and a playful risk-loving attitude have earned the company an outstanding reputation for excellence and innovation in improvised theatre within the international theatre community. The in-house permanent ensemble is formed by 24 professional trained actors, a musician and a DJ. Performing in almost all of the shows of the repertoire, the improvisers of the ensemble have extensive experience in holding courses and workshops in improvisation for both adults and children of all backgrounds.

In FLASHBACK, improvisers Mats Eldøen and Kristine Grændsen try to tell a reasonably straight story, but at any moment they can be sent back in time. Now they suddenly have to make the past part of the main story! Can they make it stick? In FLASHBACK, past and present are stitched together in a story that you can laugh at, be moved by and get completely lost in. Mysteries are solved, riddles are answered - and a lot of chaos and fun ensues along the way.

We've assembled some of the best and brightest improvisers from all around the world to form the Festival Ensemble! Under the inspiring direction of Ese Atawo (Vancouver) and Monica Gaga (London, UK), these intrepid performers will create never-before-seen improv shows that will blow your mind.

We are bringing together the best and brightest from across the Festival for an improv jam show that's not to be missed! Do the improvisers know each other? No! Have they rehearsed? Absolutely not! Will the adrenaline lead us somewhere magical? 100%. In the spirit of the festival, this is spontaneity at its best.

Mark Chavez and Kelli Ogmundson, the two stars of the Lifetime Original Movie Secrets of a Marine's Wife have joined forces to create...what? Stupidity? Nonsense? Groundbreaking themes and storytelling? Emotional maturity? They're not necessarily sure but they've joined together to create something. And they want you there to witness it.

You may know Mark Chavez from the legendary Sunday Service, who perform every Sunday night at The Fox Cabaret. And you can catch Kelli monthly at Little Mountain Improv at the new Little Mountain Gallery in Gastown.

Join us for the opening night of the 26th Vancouver Improv Festival featuring special guests from around the festival as part of our DUO POP UP SHOW, hosted by the amazing Ese Atawo.

It's safe to say that this is a once in a lifetime show, 'cause who knows when these duos will be paired up again?
