Take notice, residents of the 604.聽 Soon, you can add 鈥渕ost horrible person in Vancouver鈥� to your mantelpiece.
All that and more can be yours Dec. 20 at the Rio Theatre, when the improv collective known as the Fictionals debuts the newest addition to its comedic arsenal: Cards Against Vancouver.
Featuring cards that both revile and revere life in Vancouver, the show will include more than 100 made-in-麻豆传媒映画tidbits: potshots at the Canucks and TransLink, or appreciation for Stanley Park and the 麻豆传媒映画Grizzlies. 聽
鈥淚mprov is inherently a group art form,鈥� Fictionals co-founder Daniel Chai told the Courier. 鈥淭here are solo and duo groups that do great work but I think improv is really fun when you get five, six or seven performers together on stage.鈥�
The collective鈥檚 newest creation is taken from the uber popular game Cards Against Humanity, which is billed as a 鈥減arty game for horrible people.鈥� The game鈥檚 format involves a participant asking a question from a black card, which is then answered by those holding white cards. Humour, sometimes of the darkest nature, is encouraged.
That鈥檚 where the 鈥渕ost horrible person in Vancouver鈥� distinction comes in. The Fictionals have held monthly Cards Against Humanity tournaments since 2012. Audience members participate until the raunchiest answers suss out the month鈥檚 most vile Vancouverite. The winning answers are then acted out by Fictionals members.
Since then, the Fictionals have taken note of audience contributions and member suggestions. More than 200 references were hatched before the master list was completed with 125 entries.
Not every suggestion made the final cut.
鈥淭here were quite a few variations around having sex in, or on, weird places throughout 麻豆传媒映画鈥� having sex in a Car2Go or having sex on top of the Lions Gate Bridge,鈥� Chai said. 鈥淚t sounds funny, but we also didn鈥檛 want to give anyone weird ideas.鈥�
Not only will the Fictionals roll out their take on 麻豆传媒映画live at the Rio, the group has also created a free download with all 125 cards, available online at thefictionals.com.
The Dec. 20 show is intended for those 16 or older. Tickets are $12 plus service charges in advance, or $14 at the door.
