Canberra International Improv Festival is Australia’s original and largest gathering of improvisers from Australasia and around the globe. 7 days and nights to convene, connect, workshop, perform, party, fall in love. 4-10 December 2023. Full schedule here.

An improvised theatre long form story format that uses spoken word poetry and language to heighten the action and to transition between scenes and themes.

Special guest of Canberra International Improv Festival, Rik Brown, is a master wordsmith from Melbourne, who specifically requested Smith’s cabaret room as preferred venue for this performance. His level of talent can be quite a shock at first, so best make sure you bring a drink from the bar.
