This was our
third show and, just like our previous ones, it did not disappoint. The cast
was as clever and silly and quick-witted as ever, but with a whole new set of
characters (and a few guest stars.) My favourite character, Cosro the Terrible,
wasn’t a part of this production, but I was happy because the same actor was
back as Taxx, a thoroughly lovable (and thoroughly out-of-it) wizard.
The action
and laughs were non-stop and my only complaint* about the whole show is that an
hour was too short. But, as they say “you gotta leave ‘em wanting more”… which
is why I have plans (and much-coveted tickets) to see the show again tonight!
Our review:
4 geeky thumbs up!
*My other
complaint had nothing to do with the show, but OHMYGOD, the girls behind me
were so vacuous that my hair was blowing back.

Oh, this little show’s grown up so fast — five years old already and
still with mostly the same outrageously funny cast.
Heck, we suspect the 2013 edition of the nerdalicious DnD Improv Show
features the best mix of characters yet, a Game of Thrones-y bunch, from the
noble Sir Gregory Gallahad (dashing Toby Hughes, natch) to the adorable dragon
Deloris (Katy Bennett, cheekily stealing the show in her best role of this
series). There’s also a deliciously sinister talking chicken.
Look, it doesn’t take a bowl of magic pipeweed to understand why DnD
sells out every time: take 14 of the best improv comedians in Winnipeg (Fraz
Wiest, who plays zonked-out wizard Taxx, might actually be the funniest person
in the city), give ’em swords and sorcery and decide their fate with dice. If
you like awesome things, find a way to come and play.
