Who are we? Well the Bad Dog Theatre Company is the new permanent home of Theatresports Toronto, the city's longest continuously running improv show! We've been a commanding presence in the Toronto comedy community since 1982.
Some of our award-winning alumni have gone on to work in stage, film, radio and television on shows like Saturday Night Live, Anne of Green Gables, The Road to Avonlea, History Bites, The Red Green Show, This Hour has 22 Minutes, Train 48, Air Farce, Sketchcom, MadTV and more!
Our faculty - all working actors - have been nominees or winners of Geminis, Doras, and Canadian Comedy Awards. As teachers and performers, they have toured across North America and Europe, and they bring their unique perspective to every class.
