Colin Mochrie, a Vancouver TheatreSports (VTSL) alumnus, and star of Whose Line Is It Anyway, returns to the West Coast for three performances this week at The Improv Centre and The Vogue Theatre.
Colin up close and personal – Thursday, May 24, 7:30 p.m., The Improv Centre
The first performance takes place at VTSL’s home theatre on Granville Island – The Improv Centre. The performance will include two improv sets featuring Mochrie, along with members of the VTSL ensemble, followed by a Q&A session where audience members ask the questions. There are also a very limited number of tickets (only 40) for an exclusive, post-performance reception where guests will personally meet, and socialize with Mochrie at The Improv Centre’s Neil Macrae Bar & Lounge. That evening the bar will be introducing “The Colin” – a cocktail specially designed in Colin’s honour based on his favourite alcoholic beverage – red wine.
The Colin Mochrie Experience – Friday, May 25, 7:30 p.m., The Vogue Theatre
Friday night sees Mochrie take the stage at The Vogue Theatre. The performance once again features the improv master with VTSL players in a free-wheeling improv session.
Colin and Friends – Saturday, May 26, 7:30 p.m., The Improv Centre
On Saturday, Mochrie returns to The Improv Centre on Granville Island.
All performances benefit the Colin Mochrie Scholarship Fund at VTSL’s theatre school, The Improv Comedy Institute. Established in 2014, the scholarship provides assistance to those wishing to study improv but are unable to do so because of financial barriers.
Also of note: it’s rumoured that another VTSL alum and Whose Line Is It Anyway star (whose initials are R.S.) may join Mochrie on stage in a surprise appearance for one or two of these performances.
