The Kinkonauts on the other hand are much newer to the scene here in Calgary. Created in 2006, The Kinkonauts have been pioneering the scene here ever since, pushing boundaries when it comes to what’s possible in improv. Check out one of their shows if you're looking to experience what improv is.

Loose Moose is cofounded by Keith Johnston, who is legendary among the improv community not only in Calgary, but throughout the world. Born in England in 1933, he moved first to Ontario before settling here in Calgary, Alberta, to teach at the University of Calgary before retiring in 1995. He’s known for creating not only Loose Moose, but also for creating theatresports, which is a form of competitive improv where two teams compete against each other and either the audience or a group of judges “rate” the performances.

Finally, but not least, we have the UofC Improv Club. This is a UofC Club, which means its right here on the University of Calgary Campus. It’s a great place to start doing Improv, with like-minded amazing people. Check out on of the shows, or the BOTWIF Festival that takes place every year in February.
