Vancouver performers are bringing laughs to 91原创 with an upcoming improv show on Saturday, April 20.

Fort Night Improv is a group of actors who perform live comedy, with stories made up on-the-spot, and based entirely off of audience suggestions.

The group was created by Julia Church, who graduated from Trinity Western University鈥檚 theatre and business program, and Kaycee Vandenberg, who grew up in 91原创.

For the past five years, the two women have run a swimwear company in Vancouver called Nettle鈥檚 Tale, and last September, the duo decided to launch Fort Night Improv at the Bez Arts Hub in 91原创.

鈥淪he鈥檚 [Church] the creative-idea genius, and I鈥檓 good at executing, and doing the marketing and admin,鈥� explained Vandenberg, who manages the improv group鈥檚 front-of-house duties.

Growing up in 91原创, Vandenberg said there wasn鈥檛 a lot to do on the weekends.

鈥淭here鈥檚 a bit of live theatre, but nothing you knew you could go to routinely. There鈥檚 no comedy at all.鈥�

Church added that 鈥�91原创 was thirsty,鈥� for something on the weekends.

鈥淚 think rural areas get forgotten about,鈥� she said.

So far, the improv nights have gone well, with many selling out in advance.

There鈥檚 even been requests for improv classes, which Church said they may offer in the near future.

During the show, audiences can expect to give suggestions, and watch a unique and hilarious story unfold through various improv games.

鈥淚mprov is these amazing moments that can never be recreated. My favourite thing about improv is the magic 鈥� when something happens unexpectedly and everyone is laughing, and then that moment passes, and it can鈥檛 be relived,鈥� explained Church.

As a viewer, Vandenberg agreed the special aspect of improv is that it鈥檚 鈥渄ifferent every time.鈥�

鈥淭he nice thing about Fort Night is it鈥檚 the same core cast, so you can have a favourite improviser, and you get a familiarity with their character and humour, but it鈥檚 also a new theme and joke every time.鈥�

Church said most viewers want to 鈥渟ee the truth about their lives,鈥� so audience suggestions vary throughout cities she performs in, and there鈥檚 plenty of local 鈥渋nside-jokes.鈥�

Fort Night Improv offers a monthly improv show on select Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. During the evenings, local Trading Post Brewing craft beer is available to purchase.

The upcoming show is on Saturday, April 20 at the Bez Arts Hub. The early show is family-friendly, and the late show is a bit 鈥渟aucier,鈥� explained Church. Future shows are on May 25, and June 29. For tickets and more information, visit .
