GTI joined by brilliant international guests this Thursday - Mark Meer and Crumbs!

On May 23 Grand Theft Impro will be joined by three of the finest and funniest improvisers in the world: Mark Meer from Rapidfire theatre and Die-Nasty in Edmonton; plus Lee White from international touring sensation Crumbs.

This is seriously not a show to miss.

Tickets are available online here. Show starts at 8:30pm.

Who's in the cast?

Mark Meer is a core company member of the Canadian Comedy Award-winning live improvised soap opera Die-Nasty, and was the first performer to complete the annual 53-hour long Die-Nasty Soap-A-Thon without sleep.

He is a performer and writer on CBC Radio's sketch comedy program The Irrelevant Show, APTN's CAUTION: May Contain Nuts, and Super Channel's Tiny Plastic Men.

Fact fans: Mark is also a very successful video game voice over artist, most famously providing the voice for Commander Shephard in the Mass Effect series - he's in London as a guest of ComiCon.

Crumbs is an international improv duo from Winnipeg that first formed in 1997.

They have been touring all over the world with their stripped down lo-fi improv comedy theatre show, having appeared in Canada, The United Stated, Germany, Switzerland, Slovenia, Croatia, Sweden, Norway, France, Italy, Belgium, The Netherlands, Austria, Israel, Turkey, New Zealand and the UK.
