Sin City the Live Improvised Serial

Welcome to the Official Website for SIN CITY, a live improvised comedy show performed in Victoria, B.C.

SIN CITY is a completely improvised play that unfolds in weekly episodes. Every week the cast of characters move the story forward in hilarious and unexpected ways, as they respond to live direction. Funny, poignant, thrilling unscripted theatre - this show takes improv to a whole new level. Created and directed by Ian Ferguson and Kirsten Van Ritzen, produced by Broad Theatrics.

SIN CITY:BEDLAM-BY-SEA! Season Three is now WRAPPED. It took place in a pub-hotel in a quaint English seaside village, in a quirky world that evoked Coronation Street, Fawlty Towers, The Full Monty, Calendar Girls . . and more than a dash of Downton Abbey!

The  story continued weekly on Tuesday nights from January 8 thru to the Finale on May 28, for a total of 21 shows, each one completely improvised.   Read "The Story so Far" blog to find out what happened to all of the beloved characters.    

Thank you to all our patrons for your enthusiastic support!  It was an amazing season filled with laughter and just a few tears.
