The troupe

Four chairs, one table

Four of us, one of everything: a landlord, a prop maker, a straight man and a director who is also in it.

  • Portrait of Kehinde in a mustard cardigan

    Kehinde Adeyemi

    the one who plays the landlord

    Kehinde writes the long monologues and then forgets them on stage.

  • Portrait of Beck laughing in round glasses

    Beck Lavoie

    the one with the props

    Beck builds every prop out of cardboard and will not be told it is a cardboard boat.

  • Portrait of Hamish with a deadpan stare

    Hamish MacInnis

    the straight man

    Hamish keeps a straight face for as long as it takes the other three to give up.

  • Portrait of Parvin with a knowing smile

    Parvin Rostami

    the director who is also in it

    Parvin edits the sketches at night and decides what is funny by the third watch.

How the table got here

We are Corner Table, an improv and sketch troupe from Halifax. We met in a church-basement class, kept the one table we all liked, and started filming what we made up around it.

Every week we put out one short sketch. A few times a year we take the table on the road and play live in halls, pubs and a very cold community centre.

Our free monthly email: the best sketch, the one that did not make it and new show dates before anyone else. Mostly jokes.
