About Me
UBCimprov has been breaking funny bones on campus
since 1999 (...we think). We are a power-packed comedy juggernaut that
assaults all that is dreary and unimaginative about the post-secondary
experience. Stealing stories from the doldrums of the uninspired, we
improvise a theatrical roller-coaster that does not comply with any of
British Columbia's safety standards.
UBCimprov fields teams of
expert improvisers for two monthly shows, but it's not uncommon to see
surprise performances at events and parties all around campus. Many of
UBCimprov's players can been seen performing theatre and comedy all
around Vancouver. UBCimprov alumni have gone on to perform with and
become some of the city's hottest improv and comedy tickets including:
Bronx Cheer, The Sunday Service, Rosa Parks, and Pump Trolley Comedy.
Every
spring, UBCimprov holds an epic improv tournament. In 2009, this grew
into the IMUPLSE: International Improv Festival, now in it's third year.
Top performers from UBCimprov and from all around Canada and the United
States venture to the stages of UBC for an annual improv renaissance.
We're
not afraid to spread the love to the club's members. Auditions for the
teams are held just as the year is taking off its training wheels,
usually at the end of September. Members can demonstrate their good
financial sense by purchasing a bargain $10 membership. What do you get
for that fine deal? Nothing less than free access to our monthly shows
plus special events and parties, free improv workshops, an all
expenses-paid invite to the club's ritzy end of the year dinner/bbq, and
a cacophony of other exciting perks.
