“I'd rather be stuck in a dragon den than see this show again”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed May 20, 2012 NEW

When researching activities for my trip to Vancouver with my husband, I came across Vancouver TheatreSports League. It sounded like a fun night out given the stellar reviews on TripAdvisor. The Dragons' Improv Tank show caught my eye. I love the US version of the show Shark Tank, so combined with improv, it seemed like it would be a recipe... More

“Felt fabulous after an hour”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 8, 2012

This is the best improv troupe around! We have seen them perform many times and during this trip to Vancouver, we went twice, to two different types of shows. Both were excellent. The first was called the Dragon's Improv Tank and it was a takeoff on the Shark Tank on TV. They had "contestants" invent new improv games and the... More

Just like on TV but better because you're in it. Very talented troupe, and lots of fun. Set in an area that has a LOT of great restaurants so plan to dine before/after the show. Loved it! More

“Excellent entertainment”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 26, 2012

Conveniently located on Granville Island, this is a evening option for entertainment. Although the subject matter is geared to adults, there were a few children in the audience. The players did not alter their performance (they have a no profanity policy anyway) - perfect! More
