  Online diary of the Vancouver improv troupe. There’s the peek-behind-the-curtain appeal, but there’s also some great advice for aspiring comics.

got craft is a fun and unique event that brings a modern twist to the conventional craft fair.   We were often disappointed with the standard fairs and decided to venture out and start our own!   Completely self-funded, got craft was started to fill the void of modern and eclectic summer fairs in the City of Vancouver.   What a better way to showcase local designers, enjoy some tasty eats, support the community and of course, buy some handmade goods!
