Bad Dog & Sex T-Rex Host Blockbuster Week at The Assembly Theatre

Bad Dog Comedy Theatre and Sex T-Rex have announced the return of Blockbuster Week from March 22 to 29, 2024 at the Assembly Theatre (1479 Queen Street West). A community gathering for some of Toronto's most talented artists, Blockbuster Week is a beloved festival of brand new improvised comedies celebrating movies and television in a live, unscripted setting.

At Blockbuster Week, Toronto's best improvisers perform their takes on film and television genres, popular hits, and cult classics. This year's festival sees the return of such 2023 Blockbuster Week hits as Improvised Bollywood, Chorelord, and Porno: The Musical, alongside 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.
