MOVEMBER EDITION of THE CARNEGIE HALL SHOW
Movember Edition
Wed Nov 26th @ 8pm @ The Drake Hotel Underground
Ron Pederson is our special guest on this month's Movember Edition of The Carnegie Hall Show.
The Carnegie Hall Show is a hilarious night of improv comedy presented with a mixture of wit, class, and faux savoir faire, where some of the best improv comedians in Toronto throw away the rules and do whatever it takes to make the audience laugh.
This month the rules will be thrown further, the hilarity will be wittier and some of the savoir faire may not even be all that faux because the regular cast (Second City Alumnus Matt Baram, Second City Alumna Naomi Snieckus, and actual British person Chris Gibbs) will be joined by MadTV's Ron Pederson!
As if that wasn't enough, world-travelling musical superstar Maylee Todd will be flying in to share her musical talent. Artist Lara Johnson will return with her improvised paintings providing actual capital 'A' Art based on the scenes on stage. With Two-time Dora Award Winner Waylen Miki providing a soundscape of talented keyboard playing, this is going to be fantastic.
So slip yourself into a tux (optional), grab a gown (also optional) and head down to the snazziest, jazziest and pzazziest night of improv you're likely to be invited to this month!
The Carnegie Hall Show is an evening of improv and variety. Singers, dancers, acrobats, puppeteers and even the occasional magician surround the improvisation first, an original format The Retrospective, an 'awards-show-style' look back at the greatest improvised scenes of all time, made up before your eyes! Followed by an improvised old-fashioned radio play, complete with witty dialogue, commercial breaks and occasional emotional breakdowns. You never know who will be playing at The Carnegie Hall Show! Past guests include Colin Mochrie (He's back!), Scott Thompson, Maestro Fresh Wes, 'Puppets Who Kill' creator Jon Pattison, and many more.
Some History...
The show began at the Bread and Circus Theatre in Kensington Market in 2009, playing every week for several years to packed and excited houses. While the show has had many temporary homes since; playing at the Second City, the Toronto Fringe, and even the 2012 Impro Festival in Berlin, Germany, the Drake is the show's first permanent home since the closing of the Bread and Circus in 2012.
