Films in Focus / an improvised movie review show

On Friday, July 28th the hit improv comedy show FILMS IN FOCUS returns to the stage at Montreal Improv!

Created by Andy Assaf & Jason Grimmer in 2018, FILMS IN FOCUS has been acclaimed by the Montreal Gazette as "one of the funniest shows in Montreal"

Six seasoned performers improvise 'classic' scenes from completely made up films with titles suggested by the audience only to have their performances savaged by "esteemed" critic, Benji Manking. Action films, horror flicks, rom-coms, cult classics & award-winning festival fare, just because these films don't exist doesn't mean they can't be critiqued
