The Critical Hit Show: A #DNDLive Improvised Epic Fantasy

More monsters! More Magic! More Mayhem! More Off-Brand soda!

The live, smash hit epic comedy returns for more monstrous merriment (and snacks!) - it's THE CRITICAL HIT SHOW! Join Vancouver's best comedic performers at the Rio Theatre for your favorite #DNDLive improv night inspired by the world's most popular role-playing game. As always, our intrepid performers will venture on a quest for comic glory (and snacks!) in a live, hilariously improvised spectacular - an 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.
