FILMS IN FOCUS
On Saturday, Sept 21st at 8:30pm the hit improv comedy show FILMS IN FOCUS returns to Mile End Improv / Theatre VME!
Created by Andy Assaf & Jason Grimmer in 2018, FILMS IN FOCUS has been acclaimed by the Montreal Gazette as "one of the funniest shows in Montreal"
Six seasoned performers improvise 'classic' scenes from completely made-up films with titles suggested by the audience only to have their performances savaged by "esteemed" critic, Benji Manking. Action films, horror flicks, rom-coms, cult classics & award-winning festival fare, just because these films don't exist doesn't mean they can't be critiqued.
MOJO COMEDY PRESENTS: SLASHER
Mojo Comedy Co. presents SLASHER
It's always someone you know...
Slasher is a classic 90s horror flick, fully-improvised on stage. Our performers have no idea where the story will take them... or which one of them is the killer!
Inspired by throwback gems like Scream, Halloween and I Know What You Did Last Summer, Slasher is a devilish show you don't want to miss.
