Go 4 Broke hottest improv troupe in St. Albert
Every last Tuesday of the month, Go 4 Broke gets together for a night of zany improv games and comedy sketches at NEXT Christian Community Church.
This coming Tuesday, the St. Albert working man’s improv troupe marshals its talents for Improv Assembled: Gladiator Improv Edition.
The Gladiator format is usually an irreverent take on pop culture presented through a variety of topics and themes chosen by the audience.
Ten improvisers divided into five groups interpret a theme selected by the audience. If the interpretation is disliked, the audience votes the team off.
“And then the other improvisers pretend to bludgeon them on stage,” laughed Josh Languedoc, one of the troupe’s drivers.
There are 21 actors in the group including St. Albert’s Sean Bedard, Ali Yusuf, T.J. Eggleston and Jeremy LaRiche as well as Corrina Cornforth from Morinville.
The 90-minute show starts at 7:30 p.m. NEXT Christian is on 140 St. Albert Rd. at Village Tree Landing. Admission is $10 and $5 for students.
