For Immediate Release
On June 7th, 2011, the Canadian Improv Showcase will do just that: represent Canadian comedy on the world’s stage as part of the 9th Annual Los Angeles Comedy Improv Festival. The event takes place at the prestigious Improv Olympic West, a venue famous for discovering the likes of David Koechner (Anchorman, 40 Year Old Virgin), Neil Flynn (The Middle), Tim Meadows (Saturday Night Live), Keegan Michael Key (MadTV), Andy Dick (Comedy Central Roasts), Mo Collins (MadTV), Larry Joe Campbell (According to Jim) and many more. The festival runs from June 6th to the 11th and this will be the Canadian Improv Showcase’s second visit.
“Last year we learned a lot” said host Matthew R. Lawrence. “We had a phenomenal time last year, and I’m positive this year will be even better!” He added. “Last year we saw the sites and took it all in and this year we’ll take the city by storm and show them why Canadian comedy is like no other!”
Joining Mr. Lawrence will be long time cast members Alan Harrington, Adam Risbridger, Adrianne Marcucci and Peter Nelson. They will bring their whacky, original style of Canadian short-form improv to the Loft Theatre for one show on the second night of the festival. The show starts at 8:00 PM and tickets are $10.00.
