All-Chick Improv featuring Diana Frances, Ellie Harvie and Christine Lippa!
with special guest Roy Ness
Sunday, January 18
Westmark Whitehorse, 8pm
Tickets $20

Three of Canada’s top improvisers perform in a knock down drag out improv extravaganza!

Last year, while I was booking comedians for Stand up Night, Diana Frances harassed me relentlessly to include a short segment of improv in the program. I told her over and over that I wasn’t a big fan of improv, to which she always replied "that’s because you haven’t seen me do it. Eventually, I gave in and put a 30-minute improv segment into the show.
Well, monkey me! It was fabulous. They were fabulous. I was so impressed with them and the audience’s response that they are back for a full-length show!

Popular Whitehorse funny man Roy Ness has graciously agreed to put on a dress to warm up for them – just kidding!

Roy will give a very serious presentation on special rules for the Yukon driving.
