Impatient Theatre Co.

The Impatient Theatre Co. is Canada's leading training ground for longform improv comedy. Our shows will make you laugh so hard you'll puke and our classes will teach you how to develop that killer sense of humour of yours.

We've been around since 2001, influencing the way Toronto performs improv. We were the first company to focus on longform improv comedy and build a training program around The Harold, our signature form. Our performers and teachers have won awards (2010 Canadian Comedy Award for best male improviser), taught and performed at numerous international comedy and theatre festivals (from Scotland to Australia), and are the best improv comics in the city. Just check out House Party for proof.
