Marv n’ Berry is back to socially-distanced slap you in the face with laughs with a little bit of this, a little bit of that. It’s a hot hodgepodge of sketch and improv from our COVID-starved minds!

We’ll be drawing from a hat, and chance will dictate whether we do a sketch or an improv scene! It’s going to be wild!

Marv n’ Berry presents: Someone WIll Win a car

Received both 4 and 4.5 star reviews across the board. ****

After selling-out three years running and garnering big four-star reviews every year, Marv n’ Berry are back to the Edmonton Fringe Festival with their fourth-consecutive show. Returning again from last year’s FOUR AND A HALF STAR Fringe show, Marv n’ Berry has spent the last year (near) perfecting a show that is at least worth FOUR AND THREE-QUARTER STARS. Marv n’ Berry presents: Someone Will Win a Car isn’t just an opportunity to laugh your pants off.

You can also win a car. You read that right, Marv n’ Berry is giving away a real-life, fully working car and YOU can win it, just by attending the show.

This quintet of comedians are extremely proud of Someone Will Win a Car, and hope that you are proud of yourself too.

MARV n' BERRY PRESENTS: IMAGINATION

MARV N' BERRY'S 2017 EDMONTON INTERNATIONAL FRINGE PRODUCTION

Received 4 stars **** across the board!

Imagination has the power to create worlds or convince society that cups exist in empty hands. Plus, it helps five weirdos make silly sketches for your brainmouth to taste. After a sold-out debut at the 2016 Fringe, Marv n’ Berry present you their unconventional "Imagination".

MARV n' BERRY PRESENTS: IS EVERYONE IGNORING ME, OR AM I JUST A GHOST?

MARV N' BERRY'S 2016 EDMONTON INTERNATIONAL FRINGE PRODUCTION

Received 4 stars **** across the board and made it onto 5 Best of and Not-to-Miss Lists at the 2016 Edmonton Fringe!

Marv n’ Berry are Edmonton’s newest sketch comedy posse, born from Rapid Fire Theatre’s mighty comedy loins. In their first Fringe showcase, "Is Everyone Ignoring Me, or Am I Just a Ghost", they tell an “It’s A Wonderful Life”-esque story which seeks to answer all the hard-hitting existential questions. It’s goofy, provocative, super natural sketch comedy.
