CANADIAN IMPROV-COMEDY LEGEND Colin Mochrie is set to return to Granville Island’s Improv Centre from June 4 to 6.

The company made the announcement today that its most famous alumnus will hit the Vancouver stage where his career launched with TheatreSports, joining the ensemble for improv fun. Mochrie was a star of the British and American versions of the hit TV series Whose Line Is It Anyway?, as well as This Hour Has 22 Minutes. He also started in CBC TV’s Getting Along Famously, produced, written, and performed with his wife Debra McGrath.

Scottish-born but Vancouver raised, Mochrie is a Studio 58 grad.

There will be five shows in total, with two presentations each evening on the Thursday and Friday nights of his appearances at The Improv Centre.

Tickets will be available to the general public on April 24 at 10 am at www.theimprovcentre.ca.
