McGill Summit 2011 2nd Place!

The Carleton Improv Association is officially the best university improv team in Ontario.



OK really we're not, we just had a really 'on' night, but f*ck it's a cool thing to think.

The Carleton Improv Association joined McGill, Ottawa U, UofT, Brock, Queens and UQAM to compete for the coveted Shatner Trophy, awarded to the king of improv. While the trophy went to three time consecutive champions UQAM, Carleton managed a close 2nd place, narrowly beating Queens by a point in the semi-finals, and tying them in the finals. With scenes involving a very unfortunate medical romance, a disturbingly biological spelling bee and a hockey draft pick facing his worst fear, Carleton tickled the audience's funny bones, and pulled their heart strings. Congratulations to Adrian Cronk, Ryan Lynar, Tom Lando, Paul Piekoszewski and John Piekoszewski for a successful trip. We wish the rest of the team could have been there. 

The CIA will be featured soon in an upcoming TEAM VS TEAM match against Ottawa's own Insensitivity Training on Feb 27th at Yuk Yuk's comedy club on Elgin St. 

Look forward to a future update about Carleton hosting its own improv summit right here in the heart of Canada's capital.
