Laugh It Out at The Improv Centre

Voted the city's best comedy venue, every show is audience-supplied and totally unrepeatable on Granville Island's waterfront.

Deadly Dinner Party is a new improvised show at the Improv Centre marking the venue's 45th anniversary: five guests arrive at an eccentric millionaire's mansion for dinner, the host turns up dead, and the entire cast builds the suspects, alibis, clues and eventual killer live, in front of you, with nothing scripted. It plays like an Agatha Christie plot where the actors are figuring out the ending in real time, which makes every performance different. It opens Thursday, September 24, then runs Fridays and Saturdays at 7pm through October 30. This is a theatre ticket, not a meal, so eat beforehand or plan a bite at one of the food stalls in the Public Market first.
