Bad Dog Comedy Theatre and Sex T-Rex are honoured to announce the return of Blockbuster Week from March 22 to 29, 2024 at the Assembly Theatre in Toronto. Blockbuster Week is a beloved festival of brand new improvised comedies celebrating movies and television in a live, unscripted setting. This year’s festival sees the return of such 2023 Blockbuster Week hits, alongside with hilarious new offerings such as GRINDHOUSE: An Improvised *blank*Spolitation movie and WAR!!!… In Space.
All six evenings of the festival will also offer community events such as karaoke, movie night, and Clown Car – a late-night segment spotlighting the city’s high-calibre clown talent.
