KRISTIAN REIMER

BRIE WATSON

Kristian Reimer is a comic actor and improviser, and winner of a Canadian Comedy Award (Blind Date). He is a very real example of the raw passion and energy that can seethe through comedy.

Understanding that there is more to this Alberta prairie boy than oil, wheat and beef (mmm, tasty grainfed Alberta beef) is to understand what makes Kristian tick. It’s this ‘ticking’ that often prevents him from flying! But seriously folks…all for the love of comedy!

Brie Watson is an improv, standup and sketch comedian, actor, live comedy producer and improv instructor. Based in Niagara and Toronto, Brie is the creator of Guess Who’s Coming to Improv?

She co-hosts the Second City Training Centre’s Lockdown Jam alongside Janet Davidson, and is the co-founder of Improv Niagara.

Brie is a respected improv instructor and has been on the faculty at The Second City Training Centre for seven years, where she has also taught stand-up comedy.

She teaches the LOCK improv program at Improv Niagara and delivers corporate workshops with Improv Niagara and privately.
