The Improv Centre on Granville Island has just announced its programming for the holiday season, which begins on November 21 and closes on December 31.
Merry/Happy/Jolly is a lighthearted, laugh-heavy holiday show that runs Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 pm from November 22 to December 28. Notable showings include a special opening-night performance on November 21 at 7:30 pm; matinees at 2 pm on December 15, 22, and 24; and additional 7:30 pm performances on December 19, 22, and 29.
’Tis the season for love, laughter, and hilariously predictable and heartwarming holiday specials—but what if your favourite yuletide tale wasn’t so predictable? What if you could choose all the elements of the ho-ho-whole thing? In Merry/Happy/Jolly, audiences assist The Improv Centre’s seasoned improvisors in creating the perfect holiday show through a cheery choose-your-own-adventure that’s fun for the whole family. The crowd gets to dictate all of the major story elements in this 90-minute production, including the setting, antagonist, love interest, and more. It’s a show that is sure to bring merriment to this magical season.
“By following what sparks joy for our audience members, we get the opportunity to lean into the relationships and plot points that are the most appealing, heartwarming, and laughter-inducing,” says Jalen Saip, creator of Merry/Happy/Jolly and artistic director of The Improv Centre, in a release.

Join The Improv Centre in bidding adieu to 2024 with libations and laughter in NYE at TIC on December 31 at 7 pm, 9 pm, and 11 pm. There’s no time like the holidays to shed the dread and spread kindness. NYE at TIC is an evening filled with fun, frivolity, and fabulously funny improv comedy as attendees count down to 2025. Admission for these three performances also includes full access to a dessert buffet, candy station, and photo booth.
Ticket prices for both shows start at $29.50, with discounts available for students and seniors, and are available online or in person at The Improv Centre’s Box Office.
