The 15th Annual Winnipeg IF... Improv Festival Sept 30th to Oct 4th An improvised “Overdubbing” of a TV show, a “Cold Read” of an unseen script, an epic improvised battle of English vs. French and so much more... The Gas Station Arts Centre is proud to present the 2014 Winnipeg if... Improv Festival . The very first Winnipeg if... Improv Festival happened all the way back in the year 2000. It’s hard to believe that the futuristic sounding year 2000 is now so far in the past. But here we are in 2014 and we all have computers in our pockets. For this year’s futuristic Winnipeg if… Improv Festival we will be teleporting in performers from Germany, Vancouver, Edmonton and from the other end of the our Galaxy (because we have the technology). Tickets for the Winnipeg if… Improv Festival are available through the Gas Station Arts Centre by calling (204) 284-9477 or using that fancy internet and purchasing them online. It is the year 2014 — we shou

You like hilarious things and I like hilarious things. And let me tell you, Mark Little is a hilarious thing/man with many, many talents. Not only has he got the arts of improv, sketch comedy and stand-up in his arsenal, he's also done film ( Rollertown ), television (CBC's Mr. D ) and web video series (like Picnicface and Dad Drives ). We are lucky enough to have Mark join us on stage next week for the Winnipeg IF... Improv Festival. Naturally, this is an IMRPOV festival, so you'll witness Mark's talent as an improviser. However, you'll also get to see his well-known brand of stand-up comedy at our Comedy Showcase on Thursday, November 8th at the Gas Station Arts Centre. Here is just a tiny sampling of Mark Little's hilarity to both warm you up for the festival and to spend some quality time on the internet. Mark also raps from time to time: Get your tickets now for the Winnipeg IF... Improv Festival, November 6-11, 2012!
