BoosegumpsCampy nostalgic horror... but improvised!Inspired by campy 90s children's horror, like Goosebumps and Are You Afraid of the Dark, each 'episode' is based on audience suggestions, featuring a chilling narrator and scrappy kid protagonists just trying to survive the wacky shenanigans around them. Pull up the covers and turn all the lights on, because it's about to get real spooky.Cast: Saba Akhtar, Sara Caplan, Jennifer Coy, Sunny Gill, Adam Machan, Jared Hudson, Ella Merrett, Morgan Toane My Word!Four eager debutantes vie to be crowned the 'belle of the ball' in this bridgerton-inspired improv show. The catch? The ladies must pull 21st century slang words from a hat and seamlessly integrate them, without betraying their modesty.Cast: Ella Berger, Jeff Clement, Jaelynn Brooks, Emilia Slowikowska—Bad Dog Comedy Theatre, Sex T-Rex, and Craft Brand Co are honoured to announce the return of Blockbuster Week from May 11-16, 2026 at Videocabaret, a community gathering for some of Toronto’s most talented artists, Blockbuster Week is a beloved festival of brand new improvised comedies celebrating movies and television in a live, unscripted setting.
