The Critical Hit Show: A #LiveDND Improvised Epic Fantasy – 13th Anniversary

The live, smash hit epic comedy THE CRITICAL HIT SHOW returns to the Rio Theatre’s stage on Thursday, March 6 to celebrate 13 years of dork filled humour!

Prepare yourself for a generous dose of laughter and snorting out loud, as some of Vancouver’s best comedic performers grace the stage in a night featuring intrepid players on a gallant quest for comedy glory (and more snacks!) in a hilariously epic adventure saga that has been running continuously since 2012.

Spanning over 100 live performances in both Canada and the United States, two years of “at-home” streaming, and frequent festival appearances, The Critical Hit Show is one of the longest running comedy shows around. #DNDLive is an improvised adventure that takes its inspiration from tabletop role-playing games, fantasy film and TV, and (most importantly) you!

Whether you’re a longtime fan, you’ve been enjoying our live streamed shows, or you’re brand new to The Critical Hit Show – you’re going to have a great time.
