We have been to improv.  We have been to burlesque.  So it seemed only fitting that when we got an invitation to an improv meets burlesque show, we would have to check it out.  Show Us Your Wits is a fabulously fun time.  The improv comedy company The Fictionals have crafted a really frisky show.    The troupe do some fast and funny (and slightly blue) improv to start and then do a longer form set in the second half.  How does burlesque fit in to the mix?  Well, there are burlesque stars as guests and they play along in the scenes too and do some of their own routines throughout the show as well.  Being on Commercial Drive, you can see that the show has developed a nice following – the audience is very supportive and enjoy playing along. 

The show runs the last Tuesday of every month at the vegetarian eatery the Café deux Soleils on Commercial Drive (Yes, they have beer.  Yes, it is served in a mason jar).   The house was packed so go early to get a seat.  The doors open at 8pm and the show starts at 9pm.  The cost to see the show is only $5.
