The Battle of The Sexes ended in an oddly satisfying (and unplanned) draw, as the boys and girls each nabbed three points. Thanks to all who came out. We’ll be back in the new year with another evening of family friendly improv on Thursday, February 2. As always, the show begins at 7:00, tickets are $2 and can be reserved online! See you there!
(Yes, the show used to be Feb 9. It got moved)
October’s program featured this headache-inducing cover, which probably is not actually 3D in any way shape or form.

*Please note that Tickle Me Pickle will not perform at the March 15 and May 10 shows.
A search through the Pickle archives uncovered this shot of our mascot from back in the day, when he was working on the RCA building in 1932. You’d be surprised at how many improv group mascots get their starts in the construction industry.
If you know what he’s thinking, head to our Facebook page and put it in a comment!
Remember that couple photographed kissing during the riot? Turns out there was a shot that didn’t make the front page.
This Saturday June 18, TMP will be performing at the Richmond Olympic Oval for the Richmond event of the Relay For Life, an annual fundraiser for the Canadian Cancer Society. We will be on around 8:15 up until 9:00, so stop by and support a wonderful cause!
Over the past few weeks, your favourite local improvisers have been following your favourite local hockey team as the Canucks battled their way into the Stanley Cup Finals. Naturally, there are a host of superstitions that go along with such a historic playoff run…
After getting a post-game high five from Henrik Sedin, Jon Lee-Son has been careful not to wash his hand. Unfortunately for those around him, that high five took place in 2003.
Jodi Allesia has grown a particularly impressive playoff beard.
Aaron Anderson firmly believes the only way the Canucks will win the cup is if he pretends not to care about it. Just try asking him about the Canucks: he will feign limited knowledge of the season and disinterest in the sport altogether.
After making a television appearance on the same day as a Canucks win, Spencer Cook has decided to ensure he is on television every game day. Yesterday he was dragged away screaming “Go Canucks Go!” after tackling Gloria Macarenko during a live broadcast.
Lawrence Chew has been trying to replicate every aspect of his life from the 1994 Cup run, including wearing plenty of neon colours, watching Friends and Seinfeld on Thursday nights, and listening to Ace of Base. Like, all the time.
Danielle Anderson practices an increasingly complicated pre-game dance, which currently includes clapping, high-fives, a triple-barrel-roll, and the complete dance sequence from the movie Honey.
Wanting to make his mark during this incredible Cup run, Tinjun Niu has decided to also go to games as a “Green Man,” but couldn’t afford the body suit, so he’s just wearing body paint. ONLY body paint.
Aviva Levin has been breeding hundreds of rabbits over the past year, planning to unleash the magical powers of their lucky feet by releasing them into Rogers Arena at just the right moment.
Thomas Huryn honestly believes the Canucks can hear him yelling at the TV: “GET THE PUCK! SHOOT IT IN THE NET!” His incessant reminders of the basic scoring mechanism of hockey have so far provided the team with just the edge they need.
One dark night after practice, Francine Ng mistook Spencer for Zdeno Chara. She is currently awaiting trial for aggravated assault.
A few weeks back we asked for your support in the Richmond Review’s Best of Richmond voting. Well, it looks like you folks came through, because Tickle Me Pickle has been voted the Best Local Artist in the city!
Thanks so much to everyone who voted! We appreciate both your support and the fact that you consider what we do ‘art’! And the timing couldn’t be more perfect. Come on out on Thursday to see the Best Local Artists in Richmond do their thing for the last time this year!
It was Jon’s birthday recently, and in keeping with Pickle tradition, we drew him a card! The best entries to come out of it were Lawrence’s version of a certain mutated Canadian…
… and Tinjun’s rendering of a workaday, gamma-irradiated “Jon Mean Son”.
