“They have practically reinvented improv and turned it into a fast-paced, hip, rock and roll feeling show. They zip through characters and storylines like masters, watching them is like watching a really good show, which is good because it is a really good show. Crumbs are a huge fan of the work Scratch does.” – The Crumbs (2007)

Scratch is a whirling longform show where two improvisers play all the characters as they weave together three different story lines. With a flair for huge physical comedy and techniques adapted from the american tv and film industry, Scratch is truly an improv show like you've never seen.

The format was born at the Edmonton Fringe Theatre Festival in 2005 where it was an immediate success with fans and critics alike. In 2006 Scratch was seen several times at Rapid Fire Theatre’s long form show CHiMPROV, and went on to be featured at: the Toronto Fringe, The Vancouver International Improv Festival, The Winnipeg Fringe, The Catch 23 Tournament of Wonders (in Toronto) and of course another stellar run at the Edmonton Fringe. 2007/2008 is gearing up to be a big season for Scratch with expanded Canadian touring, as well as dates planned across Europe and Australia.

In the fall of 2007 Scratch toured for six weeks across Germany, Austria, Slovenia, and Sweden. Then the toured for seven weeks to comedy festivals across Australia and New Zealand, followed by another 3 city tour across the Canadian fringe festivals. The success of the 2007 Euro tour can be seen in all of the repeat bookings in the fall of 2008 when Scratch came back to all their favourite stops, and added new destinations in France, Switzerland and the UK on an extended tour. And right now the show has just returned from another huge tour of Australia where they performed and taught for weeks.
