"Wonderful movie critic spoof...one of the funniest shows in town!
- Montreal Gazette
The hit improv comedy show Films in Focus returns to the stage at Montreal Improv for one night only with a new cast but the same Benji Manking as before!
Created by Andy Assaf & Jason Grimmer in 2018, 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
