In this episode, we sat down with Drew McFadyen from Grimprov Ottawa, a local long-form improvisational comedy troupe. We learned about the various ways improv can improve your life, what Dungeons and Dragons has in common with improv comedy, and this week's speed round showed us just how quickly Drew can think on his feet.

Grimprov performs at the Cock and Lion Pub, 202 Sparks Street, on the first and last Wednesday of every month (8:00pm start time).
