The No-No's: Ante Up! We have taken all the tricks we've learned over the past 4 years, and come up with a never before seen version of live improvised comedy. It incorporates the competitive elements of our popular WAR! event (which pits actors against each other in improv games), a new level of audience involvement, many fan favourite games from our regular shows and a brand new format to enjoy the on stage comedy experience. The short version of our new format is as follows: - The entire show is based on a deck of cards - 3 Cast members will play as scene/game directors (we'll call them Kings or Queens) - 4 other actors will be on stage, used as desired by the King/Queen (the 4 actors will be known as Aces) - 2 Hosts will keep the show running smoothly (they will be the dealers) - The audience will be given an equal share of "No-No Bucks" as they come in... $35 in our very own No-No's currency - As the night progresses, audience members are free to pass their "No-No $5 bills" around in any way they see fit (bets at their table, with other tables, side bets, etc...) - The audience member with the most "No-No Bucks" at the end of the night will win a very good prize - The first Ante Up! show will be Friday, April 29th. Doors open at 9:45, show starts at 10:00. - Our new theatre is the Pavillon Gustave Dubois, 2320 Louise Ave (1 block West of Market Mall on Louise) - $5 to get in. All Ages (PG-13 rating), Licensed event. Pizza, beer, pop, coolers, snacks & more available to purchase.
Normally this isn't a sentence uttered by humanity, but...
Man that WAR!!! was fun.
Great crowd, great show and great format. So great, it has pushed us to try a new style of improv never seen in Saskatoon before.
Stay tuned for details, but this is gonna be great.
Join us this Friday for April Fool's Day WAR!!!
Lots of new games and surprises.
Improv battle royale for the coveted WAR!!! cup.
$5 as usual to get in.
Thank you, thank you, thank you all! We had a full house for our opening night in our new theatre.
This was our first time running the whole show so we may have not thought of all the little details... This Friday we will have a freshly built stage so you will see & hear us much more clearly. Also we will have more seating set out as opposed to setting up tables & chairs for the flood of people who surprised us with a much bigger crowd than expected.
We are very excited to have complete control of our environment now, and as long as you keep coming out & supporting us, we won't ever have to change theatres again!!!
See you this Friday everyone!
Love,
Us.
Hello everyone, long time no funny.
We are excited to start our new life in our new theatre. Stay tuned to this website for info as we get details...
Hope to see you soon!
Love,
Us.
Ok, so exciting news for The No-No's faithful. We have secured a winter season run at our old theatre!
The "German Concordia Club" has taken over the old Off Broadway Arts Centre while they rebuild from their unfortunate fire this summer.
They have graciously allowed us to run our show in the old space beginning Friday, January 15th, 2010 & running through to the end of April.
The best part of it is, we are on Friday nights, doors open at 10 pm AND we're back to the $5 per person!
Please tell your friends, and join us for a memorable final run in the space we called home for so many years.
Love, Us.
Hey Everyone!
As I'm sure you all know, this weekend is Thanksgiving! And, boy, do we have a lot to be thankful for this year!
Being on-stage at the Broadway has been phenomenal these last couple weeks, and we hope to keep the ball rolling and share with all our fans a fun and funny evening every week. We'd like to thank the staff at the Broadway, especially Kirby, for housing us and for helping us to put on a great show. And, not forgetting our roots, we'd like to thank the Off-Broadway staff, especially Peter, for giving the No-No's, and the Flying Fish before us, a home for so many years (and for letting us borrow his lights for the last two shows!)
But most of all, we want to thank you, our fans, both new and old, for supporting us throughout the years, and especially now in our new home. So we're inviting you all to come out this weekend for a special Thanksgiving show dedicated to you!
You are our fans, but more importantly, you are our friends. Thank you all!
