Canadian Improv Showcase - Adam Risbridger

Adam Risbridger

On a cold January morning in 1981, Adam Risbridger was born. Then he got misplaced. Then they found him mixed in with the soiled sheets, and his journey down the path of life began. He started performing at the age of 6 when he signed up for a tap dancing class. Constant ridicule from family and friends made him quickly give it up. Then it was off to the wonderful world of acting where, at age 7, he landed the role of Winthrop Paroo in the Curtain Call Players production of "The Music Man."

Having done a few plays in his day, Adam auditioned for the Arts York program at Unionville High School. It was here he discovered his love for comedy. He flirted with improv, stand-up and sketch comedy at age 16 but didn't consider it at a career until he's graduated from high school in 2000.

He then discovered the Humber College School of Comedy. He auditioned and got in, much to the surprise of all of those who had told him he was about as funny as an old shoe. He now dabbles in all aspects of comedy including stand-up, sketch, and now improv with the world famous Canadian Improv Showcase. He is honored to have the opportunity to work with such a talented cast, and hopes he can bring some energy and insight to this already rock-solid ensemble.

Some of Adam's other hobbies include playing basketball, recording and listening to music, playing guitar and writing biographies.
