MMU Improv
Started by the dynamic duo of Dean Anderson and Colin McDougall, M.M.U. is an exciting new entry into the comedy marketplace of London, Ontario.
A collective love of improv, combined with the social calendar of a Tibetan monk, M.M.U. is a comedic pirate ship filled with eclectic misfits of all sorts. We love practicing and performing improv for those willing to embrace the art form. Our imperfect attempts to make real laughter out of completely made-up offerings from the crowd brings us no greater joy!
Our long-term vision is to be consistently positive contributors to the comedy scene here in London. Can WE possibly become the new comedy capital of Canada? We’d like to think so, and we’re going to invest ourselves in supporting this vision and all those who want to see it happen too.
