“…so swift, like a convertible soft-top transforms a Mazda Miata, one House Team was made to Two…”

For the first time ever, here are TWO HOUSE TEAMS. And to celebrate, you’ll see TWO HALVES of IMPRO-COM, all in one of the best venues for comedy in town — Hot Art Wet City. In the First Half, you’ll meet “Phil”, featuring Amy Elderkin, Ronald Dario, Geoff Walter and Racquel Belmonte. DELIGHTFUL! In the Second Half you’ll have the pleasure to meet “Harriet”, featuring Shane McLean, Ryan Anderson, DrewBoy Clarke, Malcolm McLeod and Jenny Rube with guest monologist Brent Constantine. WONDERFUL!

Rape jokes are everywhere. But who are the people telling them? Are they ever OK, let alone funny? What if the people telling rape jokes were survivors? Rape is Real and Everywhere is what happens when comedians who have survived rape share their experience and joke it out. Prepare yourself for hilarity, cathartic honesty and old-fashioned vulnerability. Produced by Heather Jordan Ross and Emma Cooper, hosted by Emma Cooper and featuring some of Vancouver’s best comedians including Sherri-Lynn Gamracy, Randee Neumeyer, Chelsey Stuyt, Shane Clark, Amanda Rae Smith, and Jane Stanton. There’s a slick piece of East Van graffiti that, in elegant cursive, reads: “Rape is Real and Everywhere.” It is, and we can talk and joke about it openly, together.
