The Cookout

Director Nigel Downer mixes comedy and cooking in this brand new unscripted show. Each week, the cast welcomes a special guest cook, inviting them to share and prepare a signature dish live, onstage.

Drawing inspiration from the guest chef's stories and from the meal itself, some of the city's top comedic talent whips up a tasty spread of fresh, spontaneous scenes in this immersive sensory experience.

It's improv, with a side of food.

Created and directed by Nigel Downer (Second City), featuring Rob Baker (About an Hour), Paloma Nuñez (Spotlight), Kirsten Rasmussen (Canadian Comedy Award winner - Best Female Improviser), Kris Siddiqi (Canadian Comedy Award winner - Best Male Improviser), Christian Smith (The Adventures of Tom Shadow) and Jillian Welsh (Second City Touring Company), produced by Kyah Green and Ivan Yuen.
