Hey look, it's Ryan Millar, Canadian transplant to London (via Rome and Brussels). Why are you looking at him? Well, aside being really okay looking, he is also helping the singular Cobra set up some shows and workshops in London, England this weekend. It's a Canadian invasion!

Not to freak anyone out or hard-sell a show but the solitary 'we' just got this note from the Impro Theatre Festival in Würzburg:The official ticket pre-sale has just started, but Becky Johnson's Solo Show Iron Cobra is almost sold out already. Seems like it is not only us who is curious and excited... Luckily Becky will also be part of the Opening Show... for all those who haven't got tickets

Apologies for posting late, but the trans-Atlantic trip really grabbed the blood out of my brain. The Goli Oder (Naked Stage) Impro Festival kicked off last night here in Ljubljana, Slovenia, and I had a great time watching the Colombians and doing a show with the International Ensemble. The crowds here are great and they totally...speak English. This was a great relief for my first show on

While not an official Iron Cobra show, we thought we should announce this very special Catch23 Improv show that is hovering on the horizon.For the Friday, November 6th Catch23 show, the regular crew will be joined by both Saturday Night Live alumnus, Tim Meadows, and stellar Winnipeg improv duo (and our pals) CRUMBS.Graham and Becky will probably not be playing together but will both be in the

Hey look up there! It's long-time friend and honorary Cobra, Kenneth Farrell of Gravity Wave. He will be hollering at y'all solo at our next Toronto show. Maybe he'll jump around (it happens), or help us make scenes.And who's this plucky ranger? Why it's Bob Kerr of the Sketchersons and Sunday Night Live (I can't find links for you guys, Google just throws me weird worship circles and the like).

We are very pleased to be performing at the Twin Cities Improv Festival for our first time ever, and it is quickly approaching. Even more pleasing is that after consulting with the schedule, we discovered that our show is a double bill with one of our favorite Minneapolis improv outfits, Ferrari McSpeedy. What a treat! Tickets are on sale now and are a very reasonable $10.Becky is also teaching a

It is the truth; we will be doing a pre-tour opening set for Toronto's Ghost Jail Theatre on Sunday, June 14. Then we stick around to climb into their regular longform improv set.

As our million readers well know, IRON COBRA was orginally born as a team at catch23 Improv, a loosely competitive improv show in the city of Toronto. At that time we also had some dead weight named Josh holding us back (thankfully, we managed to pawn him off on a string of television and film successes and were able to get on with our public spats unhindered).catch23 has gone through many, many

We're back from the dead, yet again, world. Actually, we've been back from the dead a bit here and there but we didn't bother telling many people. But this time, for real. Then we will die again as Becky goes away for six months. But until then...That's right, we're doing Bitch Salad, Andrew Johnston's monthly comedy show "for Bitchy Queens...by Bitchy Queens."

Nick Flanagan is something of a phenomenon in stand-up comedy. He really has an uncanny ability to divide audiences. People seem to adore or despise him. It's really kind of amazing.As if his work isn't challenging enough, we've decided to invite Nick into our closing late-night show in an experimental attempt to bring stand-up and improv a little closer together.Who knows, this could very well

It's called IRON COBRA Improv, which made more sense before Graham became indesposed.The Big Stupid is an Edmonton/Winnipeg Fringe tradition that sprang out of last minute Fringe cancellations.
