Hosted by Andrew Phung (Kim’s Convenience), a six-part docuseries following the 2019 Canadian Improv Games journey will premiere on the CBC Gem streaming service later this year.
CBC sponsored the finals of the 42nd annual Canadian Improv Games, bringing together 250 high schools and 5,000 students nationwide for the love of the art. While it’s a natural place to start for budding actors and comedians, all children and teens can reap positive and productive benefits from improv, whether they’re theatrically inclined or not.
The Canadian Improv Games (CIG) are often described as the Olympics of Improv. The national competition draws hundreds of high school students from across the country to participate in improv games that challenge the participants to think on their feet in front of a panel of judges at the National Arts Centre.
