We are Rapid Fire Theatre, Edmonton’s premiere destination for improvised comedy!

We’ve been making Edmontonians laugh their butts off since 1980. That’s a lot of chuckles, hahas and guffaws. Our aim is to keep doing this through our weekly shows, event entertainment, festivals and workshops. Welcome!
