Part theatre, part improv comedy, TILT follows as a couple’s relationship takes a turn when a shocking secret comes to light. What secret? You decide!


TILT is a hybrid theatre/improv show where each performance is different, as a prompt from the audience sends the story – and performers – into an improvised tailspin! After a 20 minute scripted introduction, an audience-sourced secret is revealed. What follows is a totally improvised continuation of the story, complete with movement sequences, new characters, and fully realized improvised technical design. Whether the result is a hilarious comedy, a touching drama, or something in between, TILT is a wild ride for both the audience and the performers alike!

This thrilling balancing act of theatrical styles is only possible because of the high caliber team at Solo Chicken Productions!. Creators and performers Jean-Michel Cliche (SCP Associate Artistic Director) & Alex Rioux (Director of SCP’s Fruit Machine) have nearly a decade of experience improvising together. Supported by Georgia Priestley Brown’s (former Second City stage manager) technical improvisation, including lights, sound and projection, TILT is a seemingly impossible show that is executed with grace, polish, and heart.

Winner of both the Fan Favourite Award, Fundy Fringe Festival, 2024 and Best Come-From-Away Show, Halifax Fringe Festival, 2025, you simply do not want to miss TILT.

Two performances 2:00 pm and 7:30pm on April 4th
