Toronto Improv Fest: “Do you wanna solve this problem, or be funny?”

The 10th anniversary of the Toronto Improv Festival is in full swing at Comedy Bar, with 180 performers from across Canada and the States “yes and”-ing their way across two stages through this weekend.

It’s heartbreakingly impossible to catch everything, but it’s worth the valiant effort! Here’s a wee glimpse of last night’s shows: The Classic Supremes (to whom the title’s meta-tastic quote can be attributed) on the Side Stage, and Standards & Practices on the Mainstage.
