Description
Most improv books are “How to” guides. This isn’t one of them. This is the story of Rapid Fire Theatre.
Edmonton’s longest-running improv company, Rapid Fire Theatre has sent countless audiences into fits of laughter, vaulted a few actors to Hollywood and emerged as a leading force of Canadian spontaneity.
For the first time, We Made It All Up documents that 40-year trajectory in unparalleled detail, drawing on more than 70 interviews with players, alumni, technicians, board members and the greater arts community. It traces the company’s growth from a water-testing weekly show to an acclaimed jewel in the global improv scene.
Author Paul Blinov is a Canadian Comedy Award-nominated writer and performer. He has contributed to publications like National Post, Exclaim! and Vue Weekly, and has been a part of Rapid Fire Theatre since 2006…those two things together are probably why he got to write this book!
